Auld acquaintance

I started with the chanter this evening, trying the Congress Reel that the fan has printed out for me, then A, with and without drones, then D, mostly without drones because they were out of tune.

I decided to go through my collection of dots for tunes I supposedly know. Very rusty with some. Some I felt I really should dust off and play more (Teribus, Barren Rocks),some I had forgotten how much I liked (Highlanders) and some I actually wondered why I had ever bothered (Waterloo, Banks, Castle). Hopefully I'll always know these tunes, but I feel I've moved on from some of them, our paths don't cross like they used to, we'll go our separate ways.
