Comments on: Dastirum gu Seinnim Piob! http://piperpride.com/archives/dastirum-gu-seinnim-piob I Am Proud to Play a Pipe - by Piper Pehkonen Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:50:12 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Drive-by Piper http://piperpride.com/archives/dastirum-gu-seinnim-piob#comment-1744 Drive-by Piper Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:43:56 +0000 http://piperpride.com/archives/dastirum-gu-seinnim-piob#comment-1744 Hi Wendy, You are welcome to link to my site. I will also gladly reciprocate! As far as the show Crunluath is concerned, the BBC does not archive their shows, for copyright reasons. Consequently, the show containing the performance of "I Am Proud To Play a Pipe" to which I refer in the "Dastirum.." post, has now lapsed and been replaced by the current week's show. This means that, even if you can get the show to play, you will no longer be able to hear that particular tune. As far as being able to get the show to play at all, I have found the BBC shows (Crunluath, Pipeline and Pipes and Drums) to be annoyingly touchy in how they play. It seems that they are highly browser-sensitive. About 50% of the time they will connect, and play right away in my browser. I use the Mozilla Suite and its bundled browser. When they don't work, I switch to the stand-alone Firefox browser, which seems more dependable with respect to the BBC player, but which is not in general my first-choice browser. You may have to experiment with alternate browsers. Also, check your firewall settings - they sometimes block these kinds of built-in players. I opened my blog site and checked the link to Crunluath in both Mozilla and Firefox. Today, only Firefox would play the link, but it is working for me, so you should be able to find a way somehow. The link is a direct link to the current show, so you should hear piping immediately, once the link has loaded. As far as understanding Gaelic is concerned, you and I are in the same boat! Sorry! Tell me about your piping connections. Band? Teacher? Experience? Best regards, Marc Hi Wendy,

Can you please share exactly WHAT to click on in Gaelic on the site so I can hear the tune, "I am proud to play a pipe." I found Crunlath listed on the link and clicked on it but...silence. Sorry - I just can't read Gaelic yet. FYI, I am a publicist dedicated to enhancing awareness of the wonderful world of bagpipes through my blog...and I also volunteer to work on the Annual Monterey Bay School of Piping and Drumming in Pebble Beach, CA.
