What Chris said....in spades. Various solutions have been tried by various pipers to my knowledge: Busking, playing background music at gigs (which can be simple tunes) where people are not actually listening as they would at a concert performance, competing. Playing to non-pipers Any other remedies? Julia To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
