Columbia’s Women of Bagpiping include longtime Palmetto Pipes and Drums player Elizabeth Fager (c); Heather Pastva (l), recently transferred from the City of Charleston Pipes and Drums; and Eva Julia Cox (r), a newer member who picked up her pipes again after raising three boys. In the world of bagpipes, a breath of fresh air is not only welcomed, it is necessary, and these ladies are bringing it. Palmetto Pipes and Drums original member and drummer Danny Skinner says, “Girl pipers rock, man!” For more information, visit Palmettopipesanddrums.com.
