What if one tune you wrote became a crowd favorite – and sparked a whole collection decades in the making?
This week, Andrew and Carl welcome Micah Babinski, composer of "Afternoon at the Green Monster" and author of the brand-new Green Monster Collection. Together, they dive into the story behind the tune, the 20+ years of composing that led to the book, and what it’s like to finally share your life’s work with the piping world.
Then, the crew opens the floor for a live Q&A – covering everything from band-supplied gear and endurance tips to simplifying tunes and moving up the solo competition ranks.
Plus, don’t miss Micah’s live performance of Afternoon at the Green Monster!
