At the session on Sunday I played March of the King of Laoise and mentioned to one of the flautists, on only his second visit, that I offered it as my concession to Irish music, noting that it's clearly a Scottish tune, because it's so clearly a pipe tune. Not at all, replied the flute: pipe tune, certainly, but Irish war pipes, not GHB. Not something that had occured to me, and now I wonder, where is the rest of the repertoire of the war pipes?
I've just finished Roderick Cannon's very enjoyable history of piping and will blog on that this weekend, hopefully.
Played a little with the fan this evening, and for the first time in ages I got the buzz!
