I can think of no better activity to wait out hurricane Irene here in the east than to sort through great piping by Alasdair Gillies on the magic of YouTube. Here is a random sampling. The man will be missed.

A blow to piping for anyone who knew him or heard him play. I have many fond memories of him playing here in the eastern US in concert and competitions as well as times seeing him “showboat” on occasion, but his playing was always memorable and inspirational.
