SBGS Open Mic at Los Altos Library ~ Chandra Rajagopal ~ Tue 7 Jul 2026 (South Bay Guitar Society) * Just asked Gemini AI :   could you in an innovative way compose a piece of chamber music and furthermore compose a piece of chamber music, the first movement from a Piobaireachd classical bagpipe music, say "Beloved Scotland", and furthermore orchestrate it for three instruments, Scottish small pipes and say two guitars with three different lines  ? https://share.gemini.google/EPdEV3l7gJ28  Here's  Beloved Scotland I leave thee dreich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7gxuooZa64 


Hi Chandra, Martha, Jay, (and please forward SBGS), 

Nice to meet you and make music on Tue 7 Jul 2026 at the SBGS Open Mic at Los Altos Library. I enjoyed your guitar playing a lot, and thank you. And very nice to meet your parents too, Chandra and Martha. Are you playing duets on guitars together, and if so which ones? :) I


Just asked Gemini AI : 

could you in an innovative way compose a piece of chamber music and furthermore compose a piece of chamber music, the first movement from a Piobaireachd classical bagpipe music, say "Beloved Scotland", and furthermore orchestrate it for three instruments, Scottish small pipes and say two guitars with three different lines  ?

Here's 
Beloved Scotland I leave thee dreich




But while extraordinary, Gemini didn't develop this with 


and I haven't asked Gemini AI to write out the sheet music yet either for example ... but this melody "Morning on the Firth" is a nice melody. 


Might see if Gemini could add a line for the organ, to be played by my friend Flora Halford-MacLeod possibly all the way from NE England or Edinburgh Scotland in real real time over the internet. 

Scott


PS 
(Two beginning bagpipe albums here, one called "Honey in the Bag" with light music, or ceol beag, eg Marches, Strathspeys, Reels, Hornpipes etc,

and the other called "Honey Piobaireachd" with about 10 pieces of Piobaireachd or ceol mor I play, having sought out the prettiest or most beautiful ones to my ear


Am interested in developing Piobaireachd Rock Blues Laments perhaps riffing with the Allman Brothers with Jerry Garcia playing on 12/31/73 at cow palace in SF -  and here's some brainstorming in these regards -

 ... and welcome your input here too, and check out too -

mailed-by:worlduniversityandschool.org


Dear Mahedi (in Dhaka, Bangladesh), All, 

Nice to hear from you. How are you? And what are you working on these days? Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area. Here's a blog post about the work we did on Bangladesh World Univ & Sch in Bangla - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/09/blog-post.html?m=0 - (but where the CS First with Google Scratch programming language course has been turned down, and is no longer working).

A
I still have the beginning Bangladesh World University and School in Bangla which you made in Google Sites open in my browser tabs in Chrome browser - https://sites.google.com/view/bdworlduniversityandschool/home ... and regarding too wiki Bangladesh World University and School not yet in the Bangla language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bangladesh (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States), not yet as wiki in the Bangla language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bengali_/_Bangla_language (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages).

Regarding how World University and School is doing, here's the most recent open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting from 

Monday, July 6, 2026 beginning Chugach mountains Alaska - 


https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/07/chugach-mountains-ak.html (in daily blog and re more about how I am doing, and re innovative WUaS ideas esp)



As you may possibly have read above, World Univ & Sch is exploring accrediting Germany World University and School in German and in English on the Open edX Europe platform with a German accrediting agency initially, and by WUaS adding CC-4 licensed MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - in English to this WUaS university Open edX Europe platform, with Absttract-Technologies.de and translating it into German in the process, and potentially also into Bengali as well in the future.



B
I noticed you're now a student at World University of Bangladesh - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mahedi-hasan-4930431b9/.

Any partnering possibilities that you can think of for free-to-students' Bangladesh World Univ & Sch, building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages, with WUB, in Bangladesh in Bangla, and where WUB appears to be accredited or 'approved' - https://wub.edu.bd/ & https://admission.wub.edu.bd/admission/tuition_fees & https://www.linkedin.com/school/world-university-of-bangladesh/posts/?feedView=all & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_University_of_Bangladesh & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Mannan_Choudhury - amchoudhury@yahoo.com  ? 


C
Are you or any of your friends, or anyone you know in Bangladesh mining Pi cryptocurrency free money daily taking less than 5 seconds every 24 hours, and getting a few Pi coins daily, as this Pi goes up to infinity on our smartphone and on the Pi Network's computer servers too?

Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.


World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, seeks to end poverty worldwide by distributing Stanford Mine Pi Cryptocurrency to most of the 7.9 billion people on the planet, especially the poorest. How might we explore this in Bangladesh (and West Bengal India where Bengali is spoken too) with about 273 million Bengali speakers in the world, and with Bangladesh having about 177.8 million people? 


D
World Univ & Sch will explore this further in the open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting on Monday July 20, 2026 at 10 am Pacific Time if any of you would like to join this, with an invitation to join too.

All the best, regards, Friendly Quaker greetings, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), As-salamu alaykum (Peace be upon you),
Scott

Dear Mahedi (in Dhaka, Bangladesh), All,

World Univ and Sch is still not financially operational, but seeking to deploy with the full US federal toolkit... Exploring WUaS adding CC-4 licensed MIT OCW via AbstractTechnology.De to #OpenEdXEurope, translating this OCW into German, and accrediting WUaS first in Germany in German and English, for free to students' online WUaS degrees. Will explore AbstractTechnology.De doing this in the Bangla language too at Bangladesh WUaS, AND managing & hiring people for WUaS (from Berlin) with WUaS in SF Bay Area. WUaS will potentially inquire if
can build out with Google Sites & Google Translate from here - 
Please ask the prospective Bangladeshi students (in communication with the Bangladesh Olympic Committee too??) who might be interested in such free WUaS degrees online from home in Dhaka + to be patient ... 

Scott
Will add this email further at bottom here

No thank you. Please don't contact me again about this.

This wiki Bangladesh World Univ & Sch WUaS site planned in Bangla is enough for now -


& until WUaS can find a way to grow 
with reimbursement from the Bangladesh Ministry of Education for free to students's WUaS degree programs, building on MIT OCW in Bangla. ... and with an invitation to add your ideas about this. Who would you suggest WUaS contacting in Bangladesh about this besides - https://bangladesh.un.org/en/sdgs/4/key-activities ? 


Waiting to build out in Bangladesh World Univ & Sch with reimbursement from the Bangladesh Ministry of Education for free to students's WUaS degree programs, building on MIT OCW in Bangla & re these 6 languages - 

Translated Courses

 

 

MIT OpenCourseWare has formally partnered with these organizations that are translating OCW course materials into Spanish, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Persian, Turkish, and Korean.

 


Will explore AbstractTechnology.De building out WUaS in the Bangla language too at Bangladesh WUaS, AND managing & hiring people for WUaS (from Berlin) with WUaS in SF Bay Area. WUaS will potentially inquire if they
can build out with Google Sites & Google Translate from here - 
https://sites.google.com/view/bdworlduniversityandschool/home ... and as WUaS seeks to build out with the full US federal toolkit. 


And here's Pi cryptocurrency free money daily if helpful -

 Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 55 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.


Again, how can free WUaS education & especially degrees, building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in Bangla be of help to you, and Bangladesh and university and education-wise, with an invitation to wiki-teach about this here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bangladesh ?
