066: Tam O’Shanter (Halloween Special)

<p>Tam O'Shanter is a popular poem, maybe especially around this time of year.  I convinced my own padre to do a reading for the episode in English, and then got permission from Scots Hoose to use a really excellent pro-recording they had of Hamish MacDonald reading the poem in Scots.  Not to mention: amazing musical score provided by Jeremy of the Wetootwaag Bagpipes & History Podcast.  Check out the links below, and Happy Halloween! </p> <p> </p> <p>Tune into this episode to hear how excellent this podcast would've been if my dad had decided to get into bagpipe-podcasting instead of me... </p> <p> </p> <p>--Scots Hoose: <a href='http://www.scotshoose.com/'>http://www.scotshoose.com/</a> --The Scots Hoose Tam O'Shanter Graphic Novel-style video I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAqVwCa_x5o --Wetootwaag's Halloween episode from this year: https://www.wetootwaag.com/ </p> <p> </p> <p>And, don't miss it, last chance to get the crazy low price on the limited run of shirts & mugs, buy before November 1st to be entered into the drawing... also because they won't exist anymore as of November 1st...</p> <p>-</p> <p>We're on Facebook:<a href='https://www.facebook.com/DroningOnPodcast'> https://www.facebook.com/DroningOnPodcast</a></p> <p>And Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/droning.on.podcast/'>https://www.instagram.com/droning.on.podcast/</a></p> <p>-</p> <p>You can write-in to the show with comments, ideas, requests, etc. at TheDroningOnPodcast@gmail.com</p> <p>-</p> <p>Support the show via<a href='https://www.patreon.com/droningonpodcast'> Patreon</a> (patreon.com/DroningOnPodcast), or by buying cool stuff at<a href='https://www.bagpipeswag.com/'> BagpipeSWAG.com</a></p> <p> - </p> <p> - </p> <p> - </p> <p>And now, some keywords:</p> <p> Bagpipes, bagpipe, bag, pipe, pipes, pipe, band, pipeband, Scottish, small, drone, droning, chanter, highland, lowland, uilleann, smallpipes, trad music, scots language, tam o'shanter, poetry, robert burns, halloween </p>
