July 7th Celtic Crossing Session (Memphis, TN)
The first, of what I hope to be many podcasts from sessions, recorded LIVE at Celtic Crossing in the Cooper / Young area of Memphis.
Yes that's right.. There's more than blues, rap and Elvis in Memphis! And some of the Craic.. is good for you.
So without further delay, here's a 13min sampling of the session. We're there every other tuesday, and if you want more, drop by between 7pm and 10pm, have a seat, order a pint (or my fav. the Corned Beef sandwich). Yes.. they have Guiness on tap!
If you enjoy it, Please let DJ at Celtic Crossing, or the staff of Fiddlers Green know. They'll let the rest of us know.

New Stock
Just recieved a shipment of Clanrye Reeds in.
In a conversation with the manuf, I asked what chanters they have had success with, when matched with these reeds, and which are not a good match. They indicated they should work well in most modern poly type chanters. ie: the newer higher pitched ones, and do not seem to work as well, in the older, lower pitched wooden chanters, though, as always, your results may vary.
One interesting point however, they are able to make reeds that do work for the B-flat (440) chanters on request. Just something to think about.
I've also recieved a selection of Korg tuners & metronomes, hemp seal, airtight seasoning.. all sitting on a shelf, looking for a good home.
And lastly, don't forget I can get percussion supplies, drums, highland apparel and more! Just ask.

No Shipping Charges
Not sure if anyone has noticed.. but.. I charge NO SHIPPING.
Why? easy.. lazyness.
It's such a pain when putting items in the online shopping card, to measure and weigh every single item, not to mention for you, the customer.. you budget $40 for item A, and it ends up being $45.73 when all is said and done.
So in the spirit of KISS... NO SHIPPING.
(Plus, it was time to update the blog)
