Hello Julia & John
"Drink To Me Only" was also the first tune played on pipes by David
Hillery, Ron Elliott, Gerry Murphy and me. Past down presumably
from Tom C by Colin Caisley and chosen because it was already in our
heads so to speak.
We all worked at it by finding our way around the chanter by the
singing/listening process mentioned recently by John G.
Drones weren't involved so it clearly served an important second
purpose.
Cheers
Anthony

Tommy Breckons told me that Clough used "Drink to me only" for this
type of thing,
also for hearing the "ghostly third" on the drones.
