Richard,
in my experience, every place is a good place for a new melody to come up.
BTW the worst place (and the most frequent) is the bed during the REM phase...
I have to immediately stand up and write down the melody otherwise, the day
after, I'll forget it.

Well said Daphne, I think you explained it very well.
I have a C chanter that I sing with, a D set that I just plain enjoy, an F

Hello Richard and others,
I mostly agree. There's been a lot of communication on these lists
which has been embarrassing, tedious and even poignant without doing
anything to serve the interests of the instrument, the repertoire and
the enthusiasts who keep the whole thing alive. No doubt

No problem as you are doing it as a group activity and there is no
conflict with the NPS who I am sure welcomes it.

However, the NPS didn't organise the Pipers' Week - it has, as you say, been
done independently.
I don't think it matters who does it, so long as it is organised well and run
at a fair price.
Or is it better for the NPS to not do something than for someone else to do it?
