062: The Penny Whistle & You with Sean Cunningham

If you've ever been impressed by production quality in a penny whistle tutorial on YouTube, you were probably watching Sean. A self-proclaimed, "recovering highland bagpiper," Sean joins me to talk about whistles & why, (I'm sure,) all pipers and drummers should pick up a whistle.

Tune into this episode to hear Sean extol that ever-popular musical genre: Elf Metal.
