Hi Barbara and Patti, and All,

Get well soon, Barbara!

Ongoing envisioning of my upcoming "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' CD in 2020 here.

You all might be interested rhythmically, Scottish piping music-wise, in great piper Alasdair Gillies here playing Cabar Feidh in 4 different ways ...

Cabar Feidh - March, CabarFeidh - Strathspey, Cabar Feidh - Reel, Cabar Feidh – Jig
Alasdair Gillies

Cabar Feidh - March,
CabarFeidh – Strathspey – 1:50 – 2:50
Cabar Feidh - Reel,
Cabar Feidh - Jig

Am listening much too to Stuart LIddell - e.g. Inveroran (2007) ...

https://youtu.be/UO8yWFHFk8s - as I conceive of this "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' CD.

And here's Kenny MacLean playing the Piobaireachd "The Desperate Battle" -

https://youtu.be/sVJG2pUw3gY - (where he won the Gold medal in Oban in 1974 playing this), and I may play this too on my CD ... am engaging the structure currently of Stuart Liddell's traditional "Inveroran" in developing the tunes I plan to play ...

Am also listening too to the Grateful Dead and bagpipes, and there are two tunes here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/western-meadowlark-world-univ-sch-live.html - I like a lot (re Jori Chisholm and Bobby Weir), with bagpipe influences:

am liking at 2:30: https://youtu.be/MiQFha5I9_0 (which w amplification would work well w Scottish Smallpipes)

https://youtu.be/ZXijxfctaVI & more subtly "St. Stephen/The Eleven (Aoxomoxoa outtakes, 1968)": https://youtu.be/I4Q3ziJIthc ~

And here are two recent blog entries (among a few) which gather together some of the ideas in this email thread):

"The sugar bag bee: " - (with more about introducing folk rock element into this)
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-sugar-bag-bee-other-bees-releasing.html

"Gobies: " (with the tunes and much more)
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html

Would welcome your thinking with time (and re mic-ing and recording especially) ... and exploring folk rock (perhaps for another CD re Open Band) ... about all of this :)

Musical cheers, Scott

The sugar bag bee (& other BEEs): Releasing my "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' CD in 2020 ~ re 'Brìghde Chaimbeul: The Reeling review – ancient Gaelic drones' thread * * * Some further small pipes'"Honey in the Bag" musings, Don't hear much great folk rock around the SF Bay Area these days (e.g. Jethro Tull's 'Bourree,' Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Pentangle - all from the '60s/'70s' chaotic dream of 'counterculture' ... and re rock and roll ... An emergent alternative culture then THAT generated an amazing music (how does a culture generate a music? :), Seems possible to play and explore folk rock building out of Open Band (Berkeley) creatively and as exploration, While "Hair," the musical (1967), isn't folk rock, I'll call it tribal rock and roll * * * Both Gordon Duncan and Stuart Liddell start strong, and almost kind of accelerate ... and they both pipe so so well, with such great GHB energy

Gobies: Scott MacLeod's "Honey in the Bag" upcoming CD Tune List, Scottish small pipes' GHB bagpipe music and tunes I like a lot * * * Brìghde Chaimbeul's debut CD "The Reeling" * * * Just searched on: Can I make a CD from recording to youtube? Seems so * * * Stanford Law Blockchain Copyright Exchange (BCE) presentation and re the entertainment industry ... Am curious how you'd envision suggesting using BCE for Brìghde Chaimbeul's debut CD "The Reeling" on a C Scottish small pipes' chanter which she just put on Spotify, Stanford Law Blockchain Copyright Exchange (BCE) presentation: I think the 'building blocks' of such a system would be a Spotify music streaming app and an Indiegogo crowd funding app, and then Jiarui choosing one of two main blockchain BCE systems available to him as coder
