Repeat

A repeat of yesterday in more ways than one. Again not feeling quite comfortable. I'd fiddled with straps and where I have the bag exactly, and where the drones sit. My arms feel terribly tired for no apparent reason, and I've been tense playing: neck, shoulder and thumb all now ache. Too much bellows action, which I think does prove that the problem is me and not the pipes (poor maligned Morag!)

I tried standing to play, but that made me feel more tired. I suppose starting a new tune isn't helping because it's something else to concentrate on. Same tune as yesterday, I think better today: I've added more gracing, I've paused awhile on that top B instead of doing a hit and run. I've managed a cleaner finish, but starting is a mess: the drones seem to come in at different times, and then the chanter. Still mucking up the second ending of the A part. I think I also once knocked a finger on the key, which then threw me for the next note.

I did also play Galloway, trying to run through without and then with drones, but need to get faster and cleaner at hitting the switch.
