The naming of names

Fiddling (or piping) around this evening, trying out possible sets. I wondered about Magersfontein and Dargai. I think they go nicely but it might just be that my fingers love Dargai and play it - or Loch Bee - with pretty much everything.

I'm better at thinking up the names of sets than actually putting tunes together. I want several Highland Brigade tunes so I can have a set called "Postcards from the Highland Brigade". It's a shame that Braemar and Troy wouldn't suit as I rather fancy them together as "Dearly Beloved".

A kind relative has just rung to point out a programme on BBC2 on pipers in the trenches during World War one, the Great War.
