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.

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.
