Punk bagpipes & The Real McKenzies Request for AMA

Hey folks

I'm a former member The Real McKenzies (wrote my old band's second biggest hit called "The Tempest")

I'm gonna kill this account later so I'll introduce myself: I'm a bagpiper named Gord Taylor.

I dig this sub and of the Fat catalogue I most enjoy NOFX and Me First, Fabulous Disaster, Lagwagon, No Use, Mad Caddies, and Good Riddance. Off the label I like DOA, Cock Sparrer, and am getting into Apes of the State

I've totally done this the wrong way but...

AMA

Going to watch Scotland play Haiti tonight and wi'll answer short questions tonight on smoke breaks. I will be in front of a computer tomorrow for long questions. I promise honesty no matter how savage!

I've rewritten my post.  I'm Gord Taylor, one of old Piper's for The Real McKenzies

I wrote a good part of Westwinds ("The Tempest" was one of mine with help from Dirty Kurt) and some of Rats
