Thanks Anselm. I was thinking Shakers too, but I thought Amazing Grace was
more mainstream than that. It was written by a former slave bo

Hi Maggie,
The organizers of the Marie Currie March Against Cancer in Edinburgh last
summer are organizing another mass band march in NYC this April. In
Edinburgh the final count was 8,000+ pipers and drummers. I need to find
the web site to get more info. My understanding is that we will marc

This is probably true. Old habits die hard and I'm sure that everyone
didn't wake up one morning and decide never to use figured bass again :-)

Are you planning to add counterpoint to these melodies? Polyphonic or
monophonic? Is there any figured bass notation? By the late 1700's Alberti
bass was all the rage for piano scores.

Hi all,
I just resubscribed to scots-l after getting a new
computer and new email address. It's nice to be back.
I am planning to compete on the pipes this summer
at various highland games here in the US and wondered if there are any pipers
who had adjudicated these before. I will be com
And I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone has called me Mrs.
Thompson :-)

And when I was there, I nearly got killed on two roundabouts and got
stuck in the wrong lane in the parking garage holding up rush hour
traffic for 15 minutes. I felt like putting an US Flag in my rear
window saying "Caution - American behind Wheel"

As a classical piano teacher, I teach my students to breathe at the end
of phrases and cadence points. It helps if they actually take a breath
at these places. When I play with my string partner, we also discuss
where the breathing spots are. It helps the music flow better IMHO.

Hi Toby,
Western Montana is mountainous, but east of the Rockies is very flat
prairies. We are in NW Montana where all the fires are.

Hi Timothy,
I'm just going through old emails after returning from 5 wonderful weeks
in Great Britain. Glad you like the name of our band :-) Check us out

BTW, I wouldn't call our part of Montana 'flatlanders' as we are next to
Glacier National Park.
And I am hoping my G.H. Bagpipes will sound better in England than in
Bigfork Montana and sound the best in Edinburgh with Jans pipes. But,
if they don't sound better, I hope the noise will cover the confusion.
