Droning On Heritage Bagpipes

Ruth Chiles is a specialist in Focal Dystonia and, as a musician herself, she works particularly with musicians. She's created support groups, hours and hours of video, appeared in many interviews, and written a book, (with another book on the way!) Links to her work are below.
Tune into this episode to hear Jim ramble on incessantly, proving that Ruth is a very patient and gracious listener. Obviously an excellent person to work with!

So sorry for the late upload, friends. And I'm afraid even for all that, it's not a, "typical," episode, either. I have several great interviews with very cool guests all in the edit-phase and didn't manage to get one ready for this weekend, so instead I'm pulling out the first chapter of an audiobook production I've been putting together of this 123-year-old book about bagpipes you may've heard about - I hope it's reasonably enjoyable! Thanks again for tuning in, and have a lovely week!
Tune into this episode to hear Jim mispronounce so, so many names...
