Don Scoby (also known as Bagpiper Don) is a very talented musician. He plays the Highland Bagpipes and is an up and coming Seattle star!
I first met Don about a year ago. I've always been a fan of bagpipes and through Don, I've been able to learn that the term "bagpipes" is a very loose term. Did you know that there are all different types? I didn't! Don also is an instructor, so if you are interested in learning more or have always visualized yourself playing and tooting your horn look no further!
I've listened to Don's music on his myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/bagpiperdon). I have a few personal favorites, including "Blackbird Air-reel", "Battle of Waterloo", and my #1 pick is "Remi Rawks CPNW"! The sounds are so beautiful; the music makes me envision green pastures, Celtic women and of course, the infamous kilt. Speaking of kilts, Don will show up to your event in full garb. It's great!
Personality-wise, Don is warm, friendly and professional. Standing 6'4" he carries into a room a strong presence. He's confident in what he does without being cocky. He's very easy to talk with as well as easy to work with. Don is open to answering any questions you might have and, from experience, no question is a bad question.
I'm far from a music critic and my words can't begin to describe the talent that this man has.
Don has a wealth of information on his website; please visit him at http://www.bagpiperdon.com to listen to samples of his work.
