What a wonderful treat! Michael plays beautifully, and he's such a wonderful person. I first met him at the Dublin Irish Festival, near Columbus, Ohio. I make it a point to stop by his booth every year that I go, but I missed the last two years. He was very kind and helpful to me, when I needed to have my chanter re-adjusted (this is from a very old full set of pipes that we've had in our family for years). His bodhran skills are just as impressive as his piping skills. I could listen to Michael play forever, so, I bought one of his CDs! If you are in the Columbus, Ohio area, you MUST stop by to see Michael and hear him perform. Cyndi from "Glider Island" http://glider-island.com

Terrible Pipes, you'd get a better sound from tissue paper over a hair comb

Michael, you are truly gifted! Would you come back to Dublin, OHIO and make a pen for me? (just kidding!) Guess I'll have to wait until next year when you come to our Irish Festival! Keep up the wonderful work!
