Can You Guess the Decade? Pipe Bands Through the Years (Dojo Conversations Episode 168)

How well do you know the sound of pipe bands through the decades? This week, Jim brings back Jim's Dumb Games with a deceptively difficult challenge: "Guess the Decade." Andrew listens to nine mystery recordings spanning almost 100 years of pipe band history and tries to identify the decade, the exact year, and the band behind each one. Here's what we cover in this episode: 02:39 – Jim's Dumb Games returns 05:06 – The rules of "Guess the Decade" 07:16 – Sample #1 12:45 – Sample #2 15:11 – Sample #3 16:50 – Sample #4 22:53 – Sample #5 27:02 – Sample #6 28:54 – Sample #7 33:39 – Sample #8 36:09 – Sample #9 39:00 – How generational listening shapes what sounds "old" or "new" 42:28 – Final score and the bonus recording ____ Dojo University is the longest-running and most successful online bagpiping and drumming school in the world. We teach thousands of students around the world how to play good music – mastering the art of learning and playing the bagpipes and drums in the process – in a highly accessible way that is completely unlike anything else you'll find online or in person, anywhere in the world. We created Dojo U because we noticed that too many pipers and drummers were struggling out there in the world. Bagpiping should be a joyful experience, each and every day you pick up your instrument. If it's not, we strive to fix that before it's too late. And whether you're a complete beginner, a parade or experienced player, a pipe major or drum sergeant, or a pro-level competitor... you can free yourself from musical frustration at Dojo U. At Dojo U, we do things a little differently to how you may have approached learning to play the bagpipes before. One of the key reasons for our ongoing success is that we're always evolving, improving, and growing. We'd love to welcome you back and show you around!
