Another interesting radio programme about our pipes. This one from
almost 22 years ago. There's some material also heard in the other
programme mentioned in my earlier mail. Again, it's good to be
reminded about the perspective of that time.

The point about KT's gracenotes isn't that they are there, but they are
open-fingered.
Not in the traditional manner - indeed 'a grievous error in smallpiping'.
