This is it ~

Gunhild Carling - Bagpipe Blues

https://youtu.be/W780LSQHbYY
(Swede Gunhild and her family are apparently northern Californians now ... now how to write some kernels from this onto paper sheet music?:)

And I don't have the saxophone blues' fingering in my bodymind (yet) ... but there you have it - 9 notes, bagpipe in a mixolydian scale, and rockin' blues, with a great rhythm and big band brass sound (which could be too the Allman Bros. at Cow Palace in SF in '73 transposed, I'd think), and which is adaptable.

But I return to Ma ... and Marsalis ... their guidelines for playing music ... http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm ... (and could this lead too to jamming with the Allman Bros in 1973 on bagpipe? .... or to Glaswegian Kinnaris Quintet, verging on Scottish traditional chamber music, even?)

So, as I wrote to my Ma last night ...

I played bagpipes and piano last night

.. Scottish Country Dancing sheet music (ear candy) was most enjoyable to play and hear :) ... and in retrospect I could have piped more slowly and relaxedly (playing some jigs and hornpipes) ... and am seeking to chart out some new goals eg for albums 2, 3, & 4 (Piobaireachd, Light Music, 'Pibroching the Blues' with Allman Bros '73 +)

So, coming back to (which I've also added to, riffing-wise) ...

Seek out private instruction. > ... ...

Write out a schedule, a plan with goals. (Choose pieces you enjoy playing – S.M.). ...

Set goals to chart development. > ...

Concentrate when you practice. ...

Relax and practice slowly. ...

Practice hard parts longer. ...

Practice expressively. ...

Don't be too hard on yourself.

And eventually into ...

http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingLovingBlissvavMusicalInstrument.htm

So, am a bit tied to sheet music at this time, and would love too, Ma and Marsalis-wise (http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm), where Marsalis is a kind of big band virtuoso player to my mind, to head from sheet music, to jamming with piping music, pibroching the blues, Kinnaris Quintet, and Allman Bros., all from sheet music into free form ... Patti? Ian? :)

The last site ~ Guidelines for Practicing Loving Bliss vis a vis a Musical Instrument

http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingLovingBlissvavMusicalInstrument.htm - is another writing, on paper or Web, exploration & adventure ...

Fondly,

Scott
