Hello Dave Thanks for the copy of Mad Moll. It looks like a/the precursor of Peacock Followed The Hen to me but Matt would know better. As for modal A tunes on my Primitives, I sometimes move the sliding parts so that the two smallest ends go on the drones below and the big G end goes on little g. This gives me a pair of drones e & A but the pipes don't sing as well like that, so although it's possible I rarely do it. It can be fun though and I might give it a whirl sometime soon. I'll keep you posted off list. Cheers Anthony --- On Sun, 31/7/11, Dave S <david...@pt.lu> wrote:

If you could get a drone pair to G & C (assuming it's G setup) Mad moll is in Am and has no Fnats in it. I have attached a scan for you -- I know the NSP site will strip it off --- if anyone wants a copy let me know and I will check with Barry/Tim to get it on site somewhere best Dave S On 7/29/2011 11:16 AM, Anthony Robb wrote: > Hello all > I've been reluctant to vote on this since our house is fighting back > whilst we put in a new kitchen, downstairs loo and new wee studio. > There is building dust everywhere and my pipes, mics and other gear are > packed away for the duration. > Even though I can't contribute musically I would go for Peacock. > Perhaps most will be familiar with the snippet: > > Aal the neet ower and ower > And aal the neet ower agyen > Aal the net ower and ower > The peacock followed the hen > > The cock's a dainty dish > The hen's aal hollow within > There's nee deceit in a puddin' > An' pie's a dainty thing > > I also think of (but no idea why or where it comes from) > > Won't ye come cuddle me cuddy > Now won't ye come cuddle me reet > Won't you come cuddle me cuddy > Just as ye did yesterday neet > > That's about all I can offer on TOTM but I also thought some might be > interested to know that I have put my chanter where my mouth is so to > speak and had a very happy > off-the-cuff couple of days putting down 16 tracks (4 of them double > tracked) on my keyless pipes (The Primitives as maker Bill Hedworth > called them).
