I think it's a fantastic piece, Jeri. I'd love to hear it performed by
a small ensemble with two pipers. Have you ever done this? I have been
in the fortunate position of being able to compose certain musical
pieces for a 20-piece folk music orchestra as well as a smaller folk
group, and although I find it difficult, the results can be
spectacular. 

I love the harmonies you introduced on "9-11-01", and I think the
overall effect is everything you wanted it to be. What did you mean
when you said it wasn't original? By the way, I've also been playing
"The February March" (cute) - how do you hear that one being performed?
What instruments do you play yourself? (Pardon the intrusive
questioning. We've had nothing in Scots-L for days!)
