On Sunday, after I’d posted and played, I went back
and listened to the earlier recordings I’d made of the Banks. Bearing in mind
those were with dots my new version really does sound more like a tune and less
like a loose affiliation of notes. So I was quite pleased with that, in the
end.
As always seems to happen when I commit myself to
saving up for something, I've suddenly seen a heap of things I really want.
These are mostly CDs. I've been looking for some other smallpipers to listen
to. I could listen to Iain MacInnes forever, but I feel it would do me good to
listen to some different styles and approaches. I poked around on Footstompin’
and found the various Grand Concert of Piping CDs and a couple of Allan
MacDonald with Margaret Stewart. There’s also a compilation from a Hamish Moore
piping concert that looks good. Then All Celtic Music have now got the third in
the trilogy from Duncan Chisholm, which isn't pipes, but is Scottish; and an
intriguing CD featuring nykelharpa and Irish pipes.
Neither of these were the reason I logged on to
post this evening, but the reason clearly isn't going to come back to me...
