Hello all,
Billy Pigg did choyt.
When I was learning the nsp is the late 1970's / early1980's there were not
too many players which I liked the playing of. I plumped for Billy Pigg
because he was marketed as being a legend; although Tom Clough was The
Prince of Pipers, there was not enough of him to listen to. The other
players seemed to have no gusto in their playing. My method of playing has
changed. I use to choyte, grace a lot and use vibrato. The first has
vanished altogether, I use gracing sparingly as with vibrato. Although Billy
was my mainstay to piping, I've moved on to Clough, although his timing was
not that accurate, his detatched fingering was the tightest I'd heard early
in the beginning.
