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.

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 -
