As recent posts highlight, music is not just about the 'notes' and
'technique', but also about 'social influences'.

I have posted a video of Chris at North Hero in 2003 (I think) on
YouTube.
I have a fair amount of piping on video and when I get permission from
the musicians I will post it as a resource for tunes and style.
I'll post a quick notice with the link,( if this is OK with the
moderator.)
The fourth and final video in The Colin Ross reed making miniseries
