My favorite is Mikie smyth....clean and crystal clear style, not to mention he is shaking things up with those regs....freakin brilliant if you ask me.

... if you gave one word answers such as, "complicated" I find however that the best bet is to just send them to youtube and have Smyth or mcSherry explain it to them :D

"The Great Keenan and McSherry Blast-Off" - though I think DMQ may be reluctant to tie a mainstock into a plastic bag for Paddy if he won.

... (brilliant piping IMHO), is not a clone of Ennis... and that is a good thing. I have a hunch, that somewhere back down the road a few years, Mr. McSherry was likely listening to Ennis or Clancy et. al., when he was figuring his chanter out as a beginner. Point being, piping is a tradition that ...
