I think I'm looking for a clip-on "magic microphone" to amplify my Scottish small pipes' chanter and drones well - all ~11 holes, that especially connects with a mobile speaker hanging from a necklace around my neck either wirelessly or with a wire, - and with other amplified musicians and any other sound system / speaker et al ... tall order for a single clip-on microphone ... (omnidirectional, unilateral, lavalier, Cardioid Condenser, or ...?) 

...

Thanks, All,

All good microphone ideas to try before settling on a "magic mic" that can connect with any sound system under heaven, by wifi, bluetooth or wire, and even to a pretty cool mobile speaker on a necklace around my neck in front of my jabot ((e.g. for outdoors at a winery in multiple somewhat windy locations with guests, playing while ambling, kind of Piobaireachd-like - the ambling bit - but with SSP amplification:).

Musical cheers,
Scott

Thanks. I'm curious how to create a flourishing online culture of
music, where I too with a lot of other people all want to play and
make music together (even as practice) - think/imagine Monday evening
music-making playing for Scottish Country Dancing which is fun and
both a kind of practicing as well as generative - folks keep coming
back to make music (including me:).

This doesn't address making money making music, but teachers and
organizers of this flourishing social online music making space could
well make money with time, as well as explore creativity wiki-wise and
in other ways.

Excellent, man.  You playing any gigs around town these days?

Gig this Friday in Berkeley (which has been somewhat regular over the past year actually) - it's that Scottish meme (replicating cultural unit) again - playing for Scottish Country Dancing (SCD) - for the Introductory class. It even pays - between $3 and 5 per session :).

I'd like to invite you all too to the dancing - it's about a 10 block walk away from downtown Berkeley BART - along Oxford Street (which is a nice route ... and goes along right in front of UC Berkeley for part of the walk) ... begins at 7:30 I think. The music is good (and you, who might be interested, could begin playing with https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand on Monday evenings -  if interested) :)

Re music-making pour moi, this makes for actually nearly 4 times per week music-making (which is social, and with related learning - a musical director at UU church of Palo Alto - UUCPA) ... 2 SCD and 2 singing ... with a 1st Sunday of the month singing opportunity at 2 pm at the UUCPA just emerging as well (if you're interested, I can send you the flyer which I just received :)

Come out to this Friday night gig ... and enjoy the dancing especially :)
