Bluebell barleria (Barleria cristata): 'Honey in the Bag' ... NEW Scottish Small Piping ALBUM ... https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ ... * * * An old friend, Laurent (from 1966-1972), calling from France yesterday after a Nasdaq meeting re WUaS Corp (and subsequent scheduling of meeting with Nasdaq for Board Governance) soon ~ How wonderful!

Next: Strobilanthes kunthiana: EMERGING Scottish Small Pipes''Honey in the Bag' album ... * Just found this blog post - https://pteditor.blogspot.com/2010_04_25_archive.html?m=1 - re Stuart Liddell's drumming ... He's a 'self-learner' - a self-taught learner in so many ways (and in a Scottish cultural context, as a Scot) - which he's done on his own, and a teacher (in this blog post), in so many ways too, and he's had a lot of lessons too I'm sure ... and he makes interesting and many connections (re Yo-Yo Ma & Wynton Marsalis too:) * * * "Doing the Double" - or "Did the Double" re John MacFadyen winning the 2 top piping prizes in Scotland in one year, could be somehow similar to WUaS having created 2 legal entities in California - the non-profit in CA (and 501 c 3 federally) World University and School, and the 2) for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation, in California) - a kind of different "Doing the Double" :)

Bagpiping Flyer

I've played pipes for more than 40 years, and usually perform in full highland regalia, - in the ancient, hunting, MacLeod tartan. I try to play for 5-9 engagements a month. I've played for numerous weddings, funerals, and other events, and in pipe bands.

I've studied in Edinburgh, Scotland, two separate years (1977-1978 and 2003-2004), playing in the Fettes College (IB) high school Pipe Band and at the Edinburgh Tattoo in the Castle; and studying in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

I've studied with some of the finest piping teachers and pipers in the world: Pipe Majors John MacFadyen, Duncan Johnstone, Alasdair Gillies, Ian Whitelaw, Jack Lee, Lorne MacDougall and Connor Sinclair.

An old friend, Laurent, (from 1966-1972), called from France yesterday after a Nasdaq meeting re WUaS Corp (and subsequent scheduling of meeting with Nasdaq for WUaS Corp Board Governance) soon ~ How wonderful! (Our fathers were both faculty members at Yale University)


Salut, Laurent, Françoise, Guillaume, Jane, Sandy, 

 thank you, Laurent, for calling from France ... I looked up your old home on Armory street in Google Street View, but couldn't yet 'Time Slide' back to 1966 - 1972 (when I was between 6 & 12) to see how it changed in those years. Nice to see Mrs. Barker's house to the right of your house, and 'walk' down Armory to see the Ahlstrom's house on the corner. What an interesting time to live in New Haven (since revolution was in the air and happening:)

Here it is ! ~
123 Armory Street, Hamden CT ... 06517 

And then I found our house ~ but can't yet add those photos of you, Laurent and Guillaume, from Christmas I think - and re everyone playing musical instruments ...
125 Mill Rock Road, Hamden CT
where the MacLeods lived from 1966-1971 or 72

Looking forward to talking again in the not-too-distant future. Want to hang out over a glass of wine in Google Meet video conference (for which I can send the invite) - all of us - in the next little while? 

How soon until Aging Reversal Genetic Engineering (in a capsule?). Here's ...

Harvard and MIT's George Church - 
60 Minutes: "How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?" (1 minute)


Warm regards, Scott

Bonjour Laurent, Françoise, Guillaume, Jane, Sandy, 

Re schools, I didn't attend Hamden High, like you both did ... I went to the Putnam Street school for a year, then Newhall Street School (which was an integrated schoo:l), from 2nd-5th grade, then to the new Ridgehill Street school - an OPEN CLASSROOM school, and architecturally, - can't remember whether I was in the Apollo or Gemini large open room / capsule (with none of that rigid desks in grid formation stuff) for 6th grade I think. 

We moved after that, I think, to the DC area, and I attended another OPEN CLASSROOM school - Green Acres in Rockville Maryland - for 6th and 7th grades, but during my 7th grade my parents, Sandy and I lived in Geneva, Switzerland (from Oct 1, 1972 or 3, until March 30 the following year, at 15 Avenue du Mirmont)  ... since my father was doing a Ford Foundation grant sponsored study on health care systems in 3 European countries (Germany, Denmark, Britain???) ... as he was setting up the first HMOs in the country in Washington DC ().  In Geneva, I think Sandy and I first attended a local Swiss public school in French, but then soon transferred to the Ecole Internationale Ecolint for learning in English. 

All findable in Street View too. 

Scott
