Could some Americans' Constitutional Rights be being breached, in this coronavirus "pan"-demic 'national emergency,' even if they've done something potentially illegal in other ways under the law, hypothetically, in the past?

The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Hi Taylor,

Here are some amazing burls, at the end of this:
Stuart Liddell - Lunchtime Recital 2010: 3 of 8 at Piping Live in Glasgow

https://youtu.be/pQEJf5XZPL8

All 8 parts are stellar in Stuart's amazing piping and playing all kinds of tunes!

And here are the lyrics to Scots Wha Hae again -
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43813/scots-wha-hae

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Taylor,

I find Stuart Liddell amazing as a piper and a person in a number of ways. If possible, please bring a cork for your SSP chanter bore, so we can explore tuning each of the drones, and the chanter, independently with the tuner. See you tomorrow!

Cheers, Scott

Sounds good. There's a waver in the tuning of the Scottish Small Pipes when I have one drone going and am playing an E on the chanter (I noticed recently). Getting each of the 3 tuned independently to A with the tuner, is a step in the right direction. Bellow blowing differs between High A and Low A too, but tuning to the tuner can help one get there to a tuned set of bagpipes, as one learns to hear them (and the waver or no waver on the A :).

Stuart Liddell's fingers are so independent from each other, and he plays so 'sure footedly' (like a Boreray Ram??, and am wondering if this is a Boreray Ram horn - http://www.stuartliddell.com/about :) Boreray is part of the St. Kilda island archipelago off the west coast of the Hebrides.

Cheers, Scott

:0 Scottish SP tinkering as innovation of a sort :) ... If you play Scotland the Brave, explore playing with Stuart Liddell with your practice chanter in B flat mixolydian. I think it's at the end of the 4th out of 8; here again is

I suppose you took the opportunity to drink all the champagne with your wife as well :)

Cheers, Scott

Walking, dancing or moving 2 miles per day, during this time of coronavirus pandemic?

Hi Ma,

There aren't really midges, no-see-ems or many mosquitoes even around here, which is quite nice, and the temperature will be around 70 F in afternoons for the upcoming week :) ... And here below is a bit of a re-write of my earlier email. I want too to be able to share Google Maps with you with the route I walked penciled in, for example, but in a brief search didn't see how to do this. Here's Ridgecrest Road and Redwood Hwy Canyon 94516 where i live https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ridgecrest+%26+Redwood+Hwy,+Canyon,+CA+94516/@37.8328741,-122.164702,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f881297fc8633:0x5989dabaac0c7fdd!8m2!3d37.8328699!4d-122.162508 without much maps greenery and I can't easily show you where I went ... Just Tweeted (and also re-Tweeted) about this question to someone in Maine - see below.

So again:

No see 'em Trillium out on a new long walk just now.

I went down into 'Indian Valley' to the east, and from the bottom, then a new way, walking all the way up north to the very top rim of this valley. I then hopped the locked fence which has a "fire road" sign posted on it (and is probably used  to keep any recreational vehicles from making a big loop in this cattle grazing land) and I was soon back where I've quite a few times at a saddle looking in many directions, and near the rusty basin and potential warm pool to be (for hippy types) and which nascent robots will help prepare. It took a little more than 30 minutes, and I rested under a nice tree, then walked back about 5-7 minutes to where I live. I then brought in some quickly-dried laundry from the line, - and so was out of doors, with laundry hanging too, for about an hour. So I probably walked for 35 minutes or probably nearly 2 miles.

No trillium sitings, but I'm beginning to identify a few species of flowers. I did plant my 3 herb starts (parsley finally, oregano and sage), - and got a large flower pot of lettuce for when I run out of salad lettuce I get at store - while sheltering at home during this coronavirus Covid-19 'national emergency' and 'state emergency' too.

How was your day, and what did you see?

L, Scott

PS
Hi Richard @rmbyrne How please to draw in and share on Google Maps with a friend the route I walked cross-country? A while ago you Tweeted how to add measurements in Maps to a ski slope, but I'm not finding this now, & idea here is similar ~ #RealisticVirtualEarth Ideas? Thanks!
