Immigrants SuiteThe 79th Fraiser Pipe Band
First a little bit about myself. I am Eric Tavenner and I have been playing the bagpipes off and on for about eighteen years. I learned how to play the pipes at the University of Missouri-Rolla Pipe Band while I was working on my BS degree in physics. During my senior year, I was the pipe major for the band. Since that time I was the society piper for the Celtic Society of the Ozarks. Now I'm one of the many pipers located in Australia.
