074: The Wind Among the Reeds with Accordionist Jeremiah McLane

<p>One half of the, "Wheezer & Squeezer," duo, ( <a href='https://wheezerandsqueezer.com/'>https://wheezerandsqueezer.com/</a> ) Jeremiah McLane plays a bellows-blown reed instrument, but it ain't bagpipes... but he plays along with bagpiper Timothy Cummings. It's often (delightfully) surprised me how many pipers also play accordion, or want to play accordion, so I thought talking with an accordionist would be fun - especially one with so much experience making music with bagpipers. </p> <p> </p> <p>Tune into this episode to hear about the  amazing true story of when bagpipers and hurdygurdiers rose-up to drive back the Parisian accordionists -- in a story-book surprise, peace was found unexpectedly between the pipes & accordions with a marriage between members of the next generation... </p> <p> </p> <p>APPLICABLE LINKS This album, "The Wind Among the Reeds": <a href='https://wheezersqueezer.bandcamp.com/album/the-wind-among-the-reeds'>https://wheezersqueezer.bandcamp.com/album/the-wind-among-the-reeds</a> </p> <p>Jeremiah's website: <a href='https://www.jeremiahmclane.com/'>https://www.jeremiahmclane.com/</a> A great video of, "Wheezer & Squeezer," performing some tunes: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPfzyEmomcY'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPfzyEmomcY</a></p> <p> The Clayfoot Strutters: <a href='https://www.jeremiahmclane.com/band/the-clayfoot-strutters/'>https://www.jeremiahmclane.com/band/the-clayfoot-strutters/</a> *Note: Pete Sutherland, who made music with Jeremiah and Timothy, recently passed away, (between recording and releasing this episode).  He made a lot of great music, and I'm sure Jeremiah would've noted this when Pete came up in the conversation, but chronologically, the sad event had not yet occurred.  Here's a remembrance piece: https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/life/arts/2022/12/02/pete-sutherland-obituary-vermont-fiddler-musician-performer-mentor/69695404007/ Nightingale: <a href='http://www.nightingalevt.org/'>http://www.nightingalevt.org/</a> A T-shirt that Jer
