Innovative #PiobaireachdInUnison (1st time for me) by #GordonDuncanTributePipeBand To: https://t.co/8tjCgMgK4D How was incredible piper Gordon Duncan influenced by #60sRockAndRoll? https://t.co/um114z14WV ~
https://x.com/sgkmacleod/
https://x.com/TheOpenBand/
- Pitch Bending and Vibrato: Bagpipes traditionally play fixed, block notes. Duncan shattered this by bending and sliding notes and applying a distinct vibrato to mimic the expressive string-bending of blues-rock guitarists.
- Sonic Illusion of Feedback: During live solo performances, he utilized blisteringly fast fingerwork and unique shifting time patterns to recreate acoustic effects that sounded exactly like guitar hero hammering-on and feedback.
- Blistering Tempo: He pushed the tempo of traditional jigs and reels to unprecedented speeds, capturing the raw energy of a live rock concert. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- The "Thunderstruck" Cover: His most famous crossover was his definitive bagpipe arrangement of AC/DC's heavy rock anthem "Thunderstruck". He played the iconic opening guitar riff note-for-note on the chanter, challenging the capabilities of the instrument.
- Homages to Blues-Rock Legends: He openly celebrated his rock influences through his compositions. For example, he wrote the famous "Rory Gallagher’s Jig" as a direct tribute to the legendary 1960s/70s Irish blues-rock guitarist. [1, 2, 3]
- Rejecting the Piping Elite: He largely eschewed senior competitive solo piping in his late teens because playing "note-perfect" for traditional judges stifled his creative autonomy.
- Enraging the Old Guard: His gleefully irreverent approach often enraged conservative piping traditionalists, who viewed rock rhythms and note-sliding as a distortion of the heritage. [1, 2, 3]

Flora Halford-MacLeod ?
Pictures
- Choral Voice: She grew up singing as a cathedral chorister. Notably, she was formally admitted as a girl chorister into the prestigious Durham Cathedral Choir. Her musical family also includes her sister, Davina Halford-MacLeod, who works as a professional mezzo-soprano.
- Organ: Alongside her vocal training, she is an accomplished organist, having developed her performance skills throughout her school and university years. [1, 2]
- Secondary School: She was educated at Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland, an elite independent school known for its strong musical and chapel traditions.
- Higher Education: She later moved to Bristol, England, where she completed an integrated master's program at the University of Bristol. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
- Fettes College (Scotland): During her time at this prestigious independent school in Edinburgh, she was immersed in its rich musical traditions. Fettes is particularly well-known for its active Pipe Band, chapel choir, and vibrant organ instruction programs. She has maintained ties to the school community as an alumna ("Old Fettesian").
- University of Bristol (England): She moved on to study at Bristol, with her academic tenure spanning from 2020 to 2026. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- The Bagpipe: Nurtured by Scotland's strong piping culture, her training includes traditional piping, likely influenced or supported by the renowned Fettes College Pipe Band circles.
- Organ and Voice: Her work in these areas aligns closely with the British collegiate choral and chapel tradition, which demands high-level liturgical organ accompaniment and vocal harmony. [1]

Thanks Scott!As a whistle blower and Friendly Quaker conscientious objector and in growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement, and to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft industries internationally and their latent networks if violence (so intl organized crime - and re Chase bank, trader joes, target along Penn Ave in Pgh), I haven't had an active credit card pretty much since March 1 2024 while in asylum in Pgh, so I can't yet do the Y-DNA MacLeod genetic test ...but thanks for letting me know about ... and how to integrate it in a useful realistic virtual earth for genealogy genetics as this develops? Thoughts? I also haven't yet moved into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 which may lead to an active credit card too ...Regards, Hold fast, Happy Yoga genetics too, thanks,Scott"For #Olympics? #YogaGenetics? For performance - higher faster stronger athletics - & #ETHICS? What?" - more supple too (http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html re previous quotes beginning with "For #Olympics? #YogaGenetics? ) ... and for muscle wasting reversal (so maybe regarding an initial focus on the genetics of 'height' questions per this fascinating George Church interview - A Billion Years of Evolution in a Single Afternoon — George Church Yes, I continue to explore Friendly Quaker ideas of conscientious objection (and as a Friend, and regarding your father Bruce Vicent MacLeod being a Quaker too) .. .One form of conscientious objection emerged in the British Isles in response to the horrors of WWI. I found some months ago I have a bank atm card that can function as a credit card w WF (WUaS's bank too) ... and am wondering whether I should renounce it too ...re conscientious objection against WF ... and the 'businesses' they may be involved in. WUaS is continuing to seek to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to end poverty too by distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency to say the poorest billion to end poverty too ... and perhaps my Pi cryptocurrency about 7000 Pi coins presently which I mine every 24 hours taking less than 5 seconds to press 2 buttons for a few Pi coins ... can become a working de facto credit card in the future ... but am wondering how Pi cryptocurrency is planning to stay out of international organized crime re the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex drugs violence car theft military targeting etc industries internationally and their latent networks of violence besides their KYC and KYB processes (know your customer - and I gave them an ID, and know your business ... and how these will interoperate IT wise with law and enforcement in all 200 countries their languages and across borders) ... Am continuing to be impoverished too - and in getting free-to-students' World University and School for a song - with so little in bank accounts and savings, and even having trouble transferring what little there is ... that I think MacLeod genetic genealogy re the MacLeod "parliament" too on the Isle of Skye is very unlikely to occur ... and re Flora Halford too ... How will conscientious objection develop in the centuries ahead I wonder, and Friends-wise especially, I wonder? Yoga meditation continues to have salutary effects ... daily first thing upon rising ... re 8 Limbs of Yoga ... And somehow with the Desiderata ... "bodymind neurophysiology consciousness" -wise http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/05/orchid- cypripedium-fargesii.html and re "(re death threats & death cults too )" - search on both these 'strings' of letters in above blog post ... Wondering when I'll move forward into a newly safe, vacant, with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 with the US federal govt working effectively with the state of California and Contra Costa county too in new ways, and having reported threats to the California Highway Patrol ... possibly thanks to Peter Norvig and Law enforcement Google Maps /sim (& Peter & co may know the insurance implications of IT too re a Geico insurance car near this corner & my vehicle re Sat 5/8/26 ticket yesterday) ... {8 Limbs of Yoga ... And somehow with the Desiderata ... re "bodymind neurophysiology consciousness"navigation ... ahead ?} And I'm wondering how deeply entangled jp morgan chase bank in 100 out of 200 countries may be in international organized crime and how to further grow a WUaS abolition movement among all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to protect them from contemporary slavery potentially ... and re even getting my chase credit card reactivated ...Curious how things are playing out karmically and dharmically Yogically and through the generations of MacLeods too in all of the above ... and re conscientious objection, Friends NtFs, religion, identity troop bonding and Yoga (as in 8 limbs of Yoga) ... and regarding our genes and extreme longevity genetics too.Please say hi to Quakers on the Isle of Skye this summer (and possibly remembering your Quaker father Bruce to them too)Hold Fast Yogically, MacLeod regards, Regards, Happy Yoga genetics too, thanks,ScottPSRecording of M 5/11/26 #GrowWithGoogleWUaS @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress #WUaSWeeklyBusinessMeeting

Nice to talk just now Ma ... and regarding Longevity genetic drug therapies possibly delivered through such Google Health Fitbit Air bracelets in the future - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/05/ ohlone-wilderness-regional- preserve.html. George, here are some questions aboutFlora Halford-MacLeod 2020Fettes College Edinburghsearched & foundFlora HalfordMedicineUniversity of Bristol(Fettes College, graduated in 2020, and seems to be graduating from the University of Bristol in September of 2026 with a Bachelor of Medicine degree)What does the bachelor of medicine Bachelor surgery degree from the University of Bristol lead to among the abbreviations that you just mentioned for example and will they typically go on to practice medicine in the British Isles immediately ?Mark, I know I think that 2 of your kids may still live in the British Isles, one in Edinburgh, the other studying education I think at Oxford.Flora Halford is interesting ... And she may be almost a medical doctor by now ... Brainstorming, could she move to the SF Bay Area potentially? (And regarding growing World University and School from the SF Bay Area, and from Canyon 94516 ... and how would this work? ... Further studying? ... or as a ~25-year-old doctor, explore just beginning a family?)How did she get her name Flora Halford-MacLeod in the Fettes Directory ... if this is the same Flora at the Univ of Bristol in the directory who also graduated in 2020 from Fettes and regarding a few arts listed (but not medicine), I wonder?Identity-wise, with a name like Flora she seems Scottish ... and possibly somehow similar ... Am seeking a partner who might have some Scottish background, who might be a medical doctor, and potentially with some Protestant background too (in conversation with brilliant family friend Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist George Alexander MD now deceased) ... and 'Cathedral Class' comes up in searches on Flora Halford too ... and possibly re her playing the organ, so a musical instrument ...And she looks like some family members somehow too (in the PS).'Name of the father' questions are interesting here too, & re Jacques Lacan MD too (and re brilliant family friend Lacanian psychoanalytic psychiatrist George Alexander MD too) ... And Flora Halford has the same name as a past Clan MacLeod chieftain-ess - Dame Flora MacLeod of MacLeod too .. And, Mark, our uncle Paul MacLeod in Georgia married Hazel from England somehow (but I don't know their history about how they met across the Atlantic).things can be a little more traditional in the British Isles than in the US, and in California, too in my experience ... and regarding possibly husband and wife questions too ... but could Flora have some hippy leanings, or inklings ?Offer Flora somehow a ring of marriage from the start? One recent picture of her with a diploma (Bachelor Of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery?) in the PS shows her left hand 4th finger not having a ring ... so she may be still single ... How might she have gotten the MacLeod name Flora Halford-MacLeod in the Fettes Directory? (A family name of hers? ... I also don't know British naming customs that well in these regards).In growing a World Univ & Sch abolition movement further too, and re all the death threats of recent years too, I'd think that marriage and growing a family could possibly help change this curious dynamic ... and potentially re living in Canyon 94516 too and abolitionally ... and re also knocking back international organized crime ... And how could WUaS distribute Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency to all 7.9 billion people on the planet ... possibly with jp morgan chase bank in ~100 out of 200 countries further help grow this WUaS abolition movement and to protect people, I wonder? The math is mind-boggling, and the potential is ginormous ...
Invite Flora to the United States in September or October? Or before that, might I explore going to the MacLeod Parliament on Skye beginning on August 1, 2026 ... and see if she might want to attend too? And with Mark I think as the Genetic Genealogist there again this MacLeod Parliament... ... And perhaps she could apply to Stanford and UCSF and the KP medical school in Pasadena too ... And even re the upcoming WUaS online Medical Schools in 200 countries?George, thoughts, and further thoughts, questions, suggestions, Mark, Ma/Janie, Tammy, Byron and Ed ?As Aye, Hold best, MacLeod regards,ScottPSOn Sun, May 10, 2026 at 3:07 PM Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org> wrote: Mark, All,How are you? (Wont be giving a 'Society, Information Technology and the Global University' paper re Chapter 9 in my upcoming book, in Glasgow in mid-July, so won't probably be going to the MacLeod Parliament on Skye either).But this Flora Halford-MacLeod just cane to mind early this morning on Nother's Day. Shes a Fettes College alum (2020) as am I, and she's now studying medicine for a Bachelor's Degree in surgery at the University of Bristol, west of London. She's finishing in September ... How Mark to possibly connect if she's single (where I'm a little distant from British partner seeking norms these days.

Getting also some strange emails from shady side academy (unscrupulous fundraising machine??) too with absence of 'community' ... Don't think I would send my kids there - for safety reasons even ... maybe to Fettes instead ... when they come along ...
