[NSP] Re: whatever
I understand that the young lady whose playing is the subject of Adrian's diatribe has just joined the NSP list and his criticisms of her were her introduction to our group. Sorry about that Alice, we're not all as dogmatic as poor old Inky. Please find it in your heart to excuse him. I say "poor old Inky" even though I have never met the man. Friends of mine who have had that pleasure report their encounters in glowing terms, he must be a really nice person. Unfortunately, his contributions to this column don't seem to reflect that. It saddens me to see the mean-spirited way in which some members of this list express their feelings.

What sort of instrument is this. First it was holes, fingered, then a Top A key? Then more key's,7. Then more key's,17. Whatever! We now have some-one playing 60-odd key's in 78 note's? Correct me if I'm wrong. This is very strange. The correct playing method will die and people, like you Anthony , will make money. I'm not influenced by money. I do promote the correct way of playing the Northumberland Small-pipes, as does Mr Ormston; for free! I hope the Northumberland small-pipes would die, as Tom Breckon's agreed with me, it should. your's Fingerless Adrian -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

(and I am a great admirer of what I can see of your playing) I enjoyed Emily's playing, although it far eclipses my ability for any forseeable future, but does provide one more goal to try for. Similarly catching up in any small way with your playing is a laudable goal. I've still got pdfs of Troy's Wedding in those 4 keys which I've zipped and sent to one list member. If any one else with an extended-range chanter would like copies for some interesting finger/key exercise please contact me offlist.
