Marty Atkinson passed a couple of days ago. He was a staff writer in Nashville, put out several albums on his own as well as supporting other artists. He was also an excellent carpenter - my mom had a story of him hammering and sawing while singing "I Wish I Were A Single Girl Again".

The Uilleann Pipes are now the national bagpipe of Ireland. The name, "uilleann," comes from the Irish word for elbow. Instead of blowing to inflate the bag, a bellows is attached to the waist and arm. That way the piper can also sing (or talk, or drink).

 

As they say in Ireland "that would make a glass eye cry"

Absolutely LOVE the sound of the Uilleann pipes. They did make my late husband cry. I tried to get someone to play at his memorial but too many things happened along the way.

They are indeed a sound that transports the mind and soul to a place that one hopes is higher still. When I left teaching after 28 years, a teammate hired a Uilleann pipes player...unbeknownst to me, at the end of the day I heard him play outside my classroom... I walked out and there was a crowd of kids who frankly love any chaos in the day...we marched around the whole school and through the halls. I was crying like a baby. A fine sendoff of a kind,.
