... and where Donald MacLeod mentions how great it would be to have the time to live in Hawaii for a spell to compose. I attended a few bagpiping summer schools in North Carolina, right before the Grandfather Highland Games, in the mid-1970s where John MacFadyen came from Scotland to teach. Interesting insights into Scottish culture, Piobaireachd music and thinking.
