Hi M,
A few sprinkles today, and now overcast. Glad to have gotten the World University and School Minutes done yesterday evening:
- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/07/minutes-for-wuass-open-monthly-business.html
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/forest-owlet-minutes-for-wuass-open.html
In addition to Q-tips too (all empty in the front bathroom) and fresh band aids (although there are some here which are quite old), could you possibly please bring out a new Brita with Brita filters for me (seeking to eliminate the slight metallic taste in the water!)
Got a Cuttyhunk Laser Sailing Hindu Bindi mark on forehead, and barnacle scratch on right sole of foot yesterday in an adventure! ...
Had an adventure Laser sailing yesterday ... all of the CYC Lasers need their boom rigging re-done (as I recall from last year and previous years too). Didn't put down the rudder all the way to hear it 'click' - and while out for Laser sail in the Cuttyhunk Pond - rudder slipped out in a puff of wind near Cuttyhunk Ferry, so I capsized, righted Laser, but because boom's out-hall wasn't right - i.e. it didn't really exist due to poor CYC rigging maintenance - such that when I righted the Laser, the pressure of the Pond water on the sail as the boat came up pulled the boom off of the mast's boom pintel. So with sail flapping and all the rigging every which way, I was able to ""sail"" (get) the Laser over to the back side of Jetty Beach and then put the mast back in, and the jury-rigged out-hall worked enough for me to sail back to the Yacht Club dock. An adventure ... reminded me of provisioning all the whaling ships over a couple of centuries - and of ships' crews and captains seeking to prepare for every single contingency under the sun on their voyages they could think of, based on previous voyages' knowledge. (May post a photo in my blog entry today of said "Cuttyhunk Laser Sailing Hindu Bindi mark on forehead":).
Am Scottish Small Pipes' bagpipe recording newly with WavePad application (just found this App online at top of a Google search list, and downloaded it free) and saved recording to the .WAV file format - which worked well sound-wise (and with MacBook Pro's microphone too) - then uploaded file to old unused Sound Cloud account - https://soundcloud.com/scottmacleod-com . Here's the recording - https://soundcloud.com/scottmacleod-com/my-home-on-scottish-small-pipes-on-an-a-chanter-from-college-of-pipings-blue-tutor-v3 (see, too: "Cape Cod National Seashore: "Tune Tutorials" for the Scottish Small Pipes on both A and D chanters" ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/cape-cod-national-seashore-video-tune.html). This process will work for recording all of CoP Blue Tutor Vol. 3's 21 tunes - as a kind of Tune Tutorial on both A & D chanters. (And may re-record Green Tutor Vol 1 as well!).
Am enjoying my visit to good old Cuttyhunk.
A Cuttyhunk Island, MA, vision? ... and relevant to the world even in helpful ways re care / culture / ethos / community ... and online even? In 2020? Long after the wondrousness of Cuttyhunk envisioning and living here in the 1960s / 1970s / '80s / '90s / 2000s / '10s (which I've explored before in my blog) Nice to have seen and talked with Grant and Cathy Schenck, Sarah DiMare and Pete Atwood, Chris Frothingham, Johnny Kidder and many other old friends at the CYC July picnic yesterday - all part of Cuttyhunk community and vision!
Love, Scott

It's this amazing, strong piping by Gordon Duncan where his fingers seem to become independent from one another, and he invents all kinds of new doublings and similar that I'd like to further come in conversation with for my upcoming Scottish Small Pipes CD in 2020.

See, too, the innovative (and as a response to Seamus MacNeill??? Angry even and Scottish somehow - and then especially creative???)):
