TOTM is a voluntary opportunity for pipers in the Northumbrian traditions to share their music in a friendly and non-competitive way by making recordings of themselves playing tunes that are chosen by the group and then putting them up on the internet, usually via youtube. If you wish to put up an audio file there are services for that, but I don't know anything about them. There is a poll here:
[1]http://www.northumbrianpipers.org.uk/pipersforum/viewtopic.php?f=18& t=209 This is not a formal endeavor, nor is it sponsored by any organization, there are no prizes and no formal judges. Discussions in this news group detailing the activity seemed sufficient to describe the process and the ethic behind it. Helpful, encouraging, positive comments are welcome from anyone viewing the videos. All are welcome to post. Just put a link here and in the appropriate thread on the forum, so we know about it. thanks On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 12:50 AM, Marianne Hall <[2]allerwa...@hotmail.com> wrote: Could you explain what this is about, please?
