Thread Name: Uilleann pipe and tin whistle question
Subject: RE: Uilleann pipe and tin whistle question
Al called the airs "Irish Soul Music". He told me to leave the reels to the kids with fast fingers, and play the airs. He told me that reels and jigs are a matter of practice, but playing the airs requires heart and soul. I can well imagine that moment you described.

God be good to him.
