Hi Barbara and Patti (musicians in Open Band - Berkeley), 

For your information, and for my learning re a debut Scottish small piping CD on an A chanter which I'm developing tentatively entitled "Honey in the Bag," here's Brìghde Chaimbeul's debut CD "The Reeling" on a C Scottish small pipes' chanter (one review says) - 

in Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/search/songs/Chaimbeul%20The%20Reeling

- https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2019/02/brighde-chaimbeul-the-reeling/

And here in Google Streetview is where she recorded "The Reeling" in the historic East Church in Cromarty (somewhat east of Skye and northeast of inverness) - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cromarty+East+Church/@57.6789751,-4.0290695,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1d4df95fc01c81f4!8m2!3d57.6789751!4d-4.0290695 (it would be interesting to hold concerts in such online virtually in VR with time ... as part of my vision for a realistic virtual earth too) -

... and again "Brìghde Chaimbeul: The Reeling review – ancient Gaelic drones" - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/feb/08/brighde-chaimbeul-the-reeling-review-river-lea-gaelic-drones 

And there are about 3 other musicians on her CD ...

I may record my sets of tunes to Youtube first on my porch with the hills behind me ... (and then see if I can eventually put them easily onto a CD disk)

Just put together an initial of list of tunes (see below) ... see line 4 here - "Tunes I like a lot" - (in addition to my previous emails re conceiving of this)

And I also pulled out 3 old audio cassettes of PM wee Donald MacLeod from the '70s I think, which have moved me a lot ... for another way of thinking about how to order the tunes, for one. (He like Brìghde was a Scot, and also from the Highlands, I think; he was an amazing piper and composer as well).

How's the release of Stringfire's "Landslide" CD going, Patti? 

Musical cheers, Scott

Eurasian oystercatcher: Check out the new Scottish small pipes' album 'The Reeling' from Brìghde Chaimbeul from Skye - with the beginnings of all tracks in the Guardian article - (as a good outreach idea I think), An inspiration (and model) for creating my own first Scottish small piping CD with piping tunes I play ... and further in the direction of Grateful Dead (from about '65 to '79), Kathryn Tickell at the Cambridge/Oxford Folk Festivals +, as well as Steeleye Spans' folk rock in the '60s and '70s+. I want folks to want to seek out a related channel on iHeartRadio streaming internet or similar, for example - as a vision - and it takes them someplace
