[scots-l] Lullaby for a Sleeping Landscape (MP3)
I hope you'll like this composition. I was feeling pretty disappointed that with the entire holiday break almost over, I hadn't written or recorded anything. The Lowden S-25J just was not 'working'; I was spending ages retuning it and not playing anything. Our weekly session was turned away from the pub on December 22nd - 'It's Mad Friday, ye're no playing the nicht, too mony drunks aboot'. Then the snow came and no-one went anywhere. On December 30th I took off the offending NEW string from the guitar, put on an old one which solved the tuning problem. We went for a drive through a countryside still deep in snow with sunset light raking across it. At night the garden was still covered in snow and you could faintly hear water dropping outside the window from the roof. Finally there was something which could turn itself into a tune... written late at night, and recorded the next day - the final day of 2000. Lullaby for a Sleeping Landscape: http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/1166/1166121.html The hi-fi MP3 or download is the only accurate way to hear it, the RealAudio works but loses most of the point of a reasonable recording from a guitar like this! Happy New Millennium! David Kilpatrick, Kelso, Scotland.

Toby Rider wrote: Played in E. Jerry Holland wrote it. Not according to his book 'Jerry Holland's Collection'. There it's cited as traditional: "Jerry learned the Andy Dejarlis Jig from the playing of Mike MacDougall. When looking for a title, Johnny Wilmot told us that he remembered hearing Dejarlis play it. Andy Dejarlis was a fiddler and composer from Manitoba. It is possible that he composed this, but we don't know. He was known for his fine waltzes" -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Scottish Music Pages: http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/scottish/index.html Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
[scots-l] Complaint about site administration policy
Dear webmaster of scot-l, during the last four weeks I have at least three times tried to unsubscribe from this mailing list using the "official" channel, i.e. the tullochgorm website. I am still being flooded with the mails distributed through scots-l. Either the system doesn't work or you don't care what's going on.. My solution to this problem is easy: I herewith ask you one last time to remove my e-mail address from the list. If this is not accomplished by saturday, 6th january 2001 I will return every single e-mail received from scots-l to the list, no matter what other subscribers think. And please, don't answer to this with some kind of PEI-Doric-Glasgowegian rubbish as you did to other unsubscribe requests, they are no longer funny. Happy New Year!

Re: [scots-l] Complaint about site administration policy
It would help if you wouldn't sign onto the list with 3 different email addresses, forget what they are, then try to randomly send unsubscribe requests with addresses that aren't on the list. Bye.

All those Irish flute players try to put everything in D :-) The key of E is a beautiful key, especially on stringed instruments. Are you familiar with the tune "Cameron Chisholm's Strathspey", it's an excellent dark tune on E. It's fairly recently written. Unfortunately I don't remember who wrote it because I learned it off of ear from one of David Greenberg's hometapes.

Re: [scots-l] Radio Station
Actually the biggest factor with it is that you have to have a dedicated leased line to the Internet with enough bandwidth to support some streams at a decent level. The Shoutcast site points directly back to me and the streams come out of my bandwidth pipe. I have a hobby web-hosting business on about 10-12 Sun Microsystems and Linux boxes, so I decided to donate a little bandwidth to allowing this music a wider venue.

It's called a march, but it's really more of a strathspey-time (slow) march. They're both good tunes, but neither is in E major. The first is in E dorian; the second in D major.

An impossibility in Scotland. Back in the early days of WWW - not so early, actually, 1996 - my pioneering photo magazine Photon managed to reach No 2 in Yahoo's popularity index and 'occupied' over 90 per cent of the used capacity for the south east of Scotland. We had just one line to our area, from Edinburgh University's main connection to the Pipex 'backbone' down to England. My site was closed down by the simple means of requesting many tens of thousands of pounds per annum to leave it there. The service providers and local enterprise board did, however, use its success to help secure a £1.5m investment in new lines, so we now have ISDN and everything in our area, which benefited me in the end. My 30,000 hits a month seems trivial today (hits to decent sized JPEGs, mind you) but back in 1996 it was enough to force an increase in bandwidth provision for the whole of the south of Scotland and to secure funding from Brussels. But operating streaming audio on a leased line as a hobby - well, that would be a hobby which in these parts would cost an individual the same as most executive salaries...
