Hi Tim,

Just heard your enjoyable piping on Youtube when listening to various Scottish Smallpipes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc1eIYHM_vw - might here be aiming for a set of Walsh's A/D combo in wood at some point.

I and a piping friend occasionally hold online Music Playing Spaces in G+ group video Hangouts, where we mute ourselves, text occasionally, and develop what we're playing musically for an hour. They happen somewhat spontaneously and at different times, and mostly in California time.

Here are some URLs about this - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2012/06/music-playing-spaces-on-wednesdays-and.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/12/egret-music-playing-practicing-online.html and and example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX79AzS-c4Q - which was recorded.

They happen occasionally, and will hopefully develop into online real time music-making and jamming, as the internet's ~ 1 second lag in video conferencing ends.

If you have a G+ Profile page (which I'll see by sending this email), I'll let you know in Vermont occasionally when they're happening if you're interested - https://plus.google.com/u/0/112822712931339453961/posts - and you could even simply join the hangout if you were around at the time from this page, by clicking "Join Hangout".

They may begin to start happening more regularly MWF at 4 pm PDT (7 pm EDT) next week, (and possibly vis-a-vis the Prince Charles Pipe Band's Grades 4 & 5 pipers as well, but actually will probably just remain open, online, Music Playing Spaces ... it's all just unfolding. :)

Musically networking here online ... (check out, as well, World University and School's beginning online, free, open, wiki Music School -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School - and, as an example, the 'Scottish smallpipes and borderpipes' page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Scottish_smallpipes_and_borderpipes).

Happy piping,
Scott
