Trust us! You want to read this story...
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn’t stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.
I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.
And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”
Apparently, I’m still lost… It’s a man thing.

I'm tuned in to the 2nd podcast for May. "The Celt Came Back" is my favorite song by Fugli! Thanks for including it on this edition.Sunday June 3rd, 2018 - 9:12 am
We are thrilled to announce that we will be performing the full run of The Florida Renaissance Festival for their 2019 season!
We are looking forward to meeting new acts, making new friends, and seeing how the balmy Atlantic breeze treats the integrity of Whiplash’s guitar.
Of course when we open new doors, old doors must close, lest the electric bill become extravagant.
This means (obviously) that we will not be performing at the 2019 Bay Area Renaissance Faire. We cherish our friends, family, and fans that have helped us grow from “Whiplash with a guitar” to something louder and drunker, but it’s time for us to stretch our wings and see if we can’t find a nest that fits us a little better.
Sláinte!

Our village should be on a poster for #NationalFamilyRecreationDay — some families dress up together, others just come to enjoy all the fun stuff. Either way, there’s something for everyone. Photo credit: @evanskirt #153DaysToRenFest #PlanYourAdventure #RentFestOnYourMind

This day in 1453 is considered by many historians to be the end of the Middle Ages, and therefore the beginning of the Renaissance. So yes, we’re celebrating. Photo credit: Kirt Evans #EndOfTheMiddleAgesDay #157DaysToRenFest #RenFestOnYourMind
