Stuart,

Can we explore co-composing a Piobaireachd Blues Rock Lament with the title of

"Lament for the Burning of Harbin Hot Springs / Heart Consciousness Church" (last in 2015) ...

and that I might even play on my Scottish Small Pipes the next time I visit Harbin Hot springs in Northern California .. and pipe up the way to the pool area playing this .. (and possibly in a realistic virtual Harbin too ... in a completely new and innovative way) ? :)

(This idea just came to me in the shower ... as some recent developments for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch are emerging).

I played my Scottish Highland bagpipes wailing up to the Harbin pool area one Easter in 2005 where my kilt and doublet ... with the Easter Bunny (Eric Richardson dressed up like this) ... in a kind of hippy parade ... and before right as I was beginning my ethnographic field work for my first big physical-digital Harbin ethnographic book project (published in 2016 by the new Academic Press at WUaS).

Stuart,

But I'm not sure how I'd begin this urlar or ground, e.g. singing or on the chanter ... and with what rock or blues influence too ... Thoughts ?

here's the picture which I found by searching on -

Realizing that you're quite far probably from this alternative as a virtuosic Ceol Beag and Ceol Mor Scottish Highland bagpiper, but writing to you re the dialogue for one.

Best wishes,

Scott
