Bagpipes, St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Happy Saint Pattie’s Day from Urban Flute Project!

While attending the annual OSSTF convention as described in the previous post, I happened to catch part of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade that rolled right by the Sheraton Hotel where I was stationed for the weekend. I wouldn’t have guessed that staging the parade was in the AMPA budget but it was worth every penny and my thanks to whoever coordinated this festive lunch-time diversion for us conference-goers ; )

I didn’t spot Curly in these pipers’ midsts, but towards the end of this soundfile you can hear the music fade into the distance as they round the corner at University and Queen where he can often be heard playing his solo pipes.

Thanks, Allyson, for sending along this great pic!
