Hi Bruce, Patti and Barbara,

Some 'voices' from the Northumbrian piping world - " Newcastle Piping Festival - Andy Watchorn & Andy May" (2017) ...

https://youtu.be/ny7ZWDqNBTE ... and with great natural acoustics from the hall (feels old, beautiful and folky) :) ... coool data sets too for creating harmonies in "Piping Google Doodle" (which software I may have to create - can we go from recordings into data sets? :) ... and into MuseScore with its piping register ) ... Andy May seems to have cut his pony tail, but is wearing tattered jeans here (ie hasn't gone mainstream totally in that 'Hadrian's Wall' alternative culture) :) And quite a variety here: “Newcastle Piping Festival 2017 Concert Highlights -

https://youtu.be/zpnBimNEzu4 )

And here's my University of Edinburgh Tutor Gary West re too my visiting St. Kilda as virtual place project (2003-04) on Scottish small pipes - "Bagpipe Society blowout - Gary West 2" ...

https://youtu.be/-0QorXZGGmw - with pretty good acoustics due to the hall too. (Liking the second tune in particular). When I was studying in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies at the Univ of Edinburgh, Gary had just come out with his beautiful "The Islay Ball" (2001) somewhat small pipes' CD ... and said something to the effect - in the anomie of Edinburgh - that it was the one thing that had recently given him meaning (or something similar). And it's really lyrical and beautiful. :) (Here's another interesting one -

https://youtu.be/UcgBFrqqq5c - and tres Ecosse ... "Ceolas Piping Concert, smallpipes" played by Allan MacDonald, Angus MacKenzie, Fin Moore & Angus Nicolson. Ceolas piping concert July 2012

For further "Honey in the Bag" upcoming Scottish small pipes' CD conversation, and musings ...

Thinking what other places to add to the list of possible places Open Band could play in Scotland ... Oban, Benbecula? ... Ask Alasdair Fraser (or not)?

See some of you tomorrow. :)

Musical cheers, Scott
