Brainstorming-wise,

and regarding art and virtual worlds, am quite interested in virtual Lego Robotics in a realistic virtual environment, perhaps beginning just with virtual Lego Blocks or Bricks (re even Brick Street View, which was developed by a Swedish coder back around 2013, but is no longer active I think), and for e.g. -

Wishing you a happy holiday season, a Merry Xmas, and Happy New Year too! And thank you!

Friendly regards, Scott

favorite Piobaireachd?

Dear Stuart,

Thanks so much!

I think I would give the thumb up to the first 2 or 3 tunes if I were a machine learning algorithm - which is perhaps what my experience of most beautiful, most lyrical, most melodious Piobaireachd music is ... maybe I am a machine learning algorithm :) ... and may seek to listen to all 200-300 older or 'classic' Piobaireachd :)

Here's my "Honey Piobaireachd" SSP album tune list presently, albeit may be seeking some more most beautiful, most lyrical, most melodious Piobaireachd to my ear before I create this album:

Now how newly to make these last Piobaireachd SING musically such that listeners, both new listeners, and people who know Piobaireachd well, would be deeply touched somehow emotionally? Might we explore further possibly please this connecting potential in another lesson in the New Year, and perhaps in focusing on a single Piobaireachd? Thank you, Stuart!

Season's Greetings, and Happy Hogmanay, so, A Happy New Year to you when it comes!

Dear Stuart, All, I just shared the following with you, and wonder also especially what your very favorite Piobaireachd are, Stuart, - and importantly, what all of your favorite Piobaireachd are ... your very very most favorite Piobaireachd tunes in the whole wide world, that is - I mean, the ones you might or do return to again and again, when in the mood even, and to soar or fly or come home in a sense (would you consider asking our friends this question as well, possibly please:) :)? I might even explore renaming my upcoming Scottish Small Pipes' album - with the B flat mix SSP chanter - something like Fav Piobaireachd Ever Bestests :)

(first Scottish Small Pipes' album was of Light Music, - on the A mixolydian SSP chanter - Ceol Beag) but heading to Mor now ... with playing Ceol Mor, or Piobaireachd, Big Music, on the Small Pipe ... :)

Thanks so much!

I just found "Beloved Scotland, I Leave Thee Gloomy" ... (great name for a tune). Want to explore this Piobaireachd next? I found the sheet music in the Kilberry book too.

A stag, for 1st time, came up to my window while I'm playing '73 Allman Bros at abt 3:20

- https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I - touched his antler (2 point) to it twice, lay down, & seems to be listening. #ScottishSmallPipes & riffing with #Piobaireachd

How to get the energy of this Stag listening to music ... and even with Rock Piobaireachd Blues' Laments anew - a creative opportunity? :)

Beloved Scotland

Nothing is known with any certainty about the historical background or date of composition of this lovely tune. In his notes to David Glen’s Ancient Piobaireachd, the notes state “Beloved Scotland, thee I am leaving” ... This fine Pibroch is said to have been the favourite March of Sir Donald MacDonald of Slate (sic) when marching to the Battle of Sheriffmuir (1715).”

There's a picture of you, Stuart, next to this interesting excerpt of a text about the Piobaireachd Society's Book 16, by Peter McCalister, and his favorite tune in it ...

"Most of the tunes are of average length and difficulty, but there are a small number of very challenging pieces amongst which is another nameless tune (Hiotro traen) from John MacDougall Gillies’ manuscript. This tune – on page 580 – would be my personal favourite from the whole book. Here is the urlar:
