Bag pipes in Braun Bay

I'm on the west side of the bay. A few times every summer only at dusk, beautiful bag pipe music comes drifting across the water; very ethereal and haunting. It seems to be coming from the direction of Far Echo; last time was Tuesday evening. Has anyone else heard it or know anything about who the piper is? I just love it! But then again, I'm about a mile from Far Echo...

There are actually two different folks who play - one is an old friend, the other is my niece

Some years they are in town at the same time, and you get a dueling bagpipes contest. We enjoy it as well. Sometimes the loons answer.

I have been listening to the bag pipes for a few years now, they are awesome, and usually compliment a great sunset. I think the location is a bit north of Far Echo towards Hermit Cove.
