Rick, No insult intended, must be the way I phrase things. Some of my best friends are extremely good musicians. I didn't mean to imply that those who seek technical perfection don't also enjoy the music. Tim - Original Message - From: "Rick Damon" To: "tim rolls BT" Cc: "David

Tim, I think the suggestion that someone who wants to master the instrument and play well is doing it as a "technical exercise" instead of enjoying playing music is insulting. I believe that if you're going to play music you first need to get a level of competency on the instrument you p

Good points. "When love breaks down" by Prefab Sprout has already been recorded by Her Who Shall Not Be Named, has it not? Not to mention "Stranger on the shore" by, er, someone else. >Sax had only ever been used to play orchestral music, it's >original purpose >as a crossover between brass and

Seems to me that as the pipes have been around for about 500 years in their present form, but much of the repetoire is from the last 200-250 years and is probably a sample of popular tunes of the day that you could argue that the "traditional" tunes at least of the pipes have already been lost.

Perhaps syncopated jiggery is a virus like the squirrel pox that grays carry but kills reds? Tim This made me wonder what 'Pan-Celtic "syncopated jiggery"' is, and what the nature of the threat. Sounds more like fun than a threat in the admittedly unlikely event of you asking me

Hi Simon, Your comments are very interesting. How did you record this piece? I only managed to listen to it the once, maybe it would grow in me if I heard it several times on a decent sound system (like you mentioned, my computer speakers were not up to the challenge). Richard Simon Knight

My reaction on first hearing was negative. After I recorded the stream, enhanced the sound and played it on a decent hi-fi the pipes were much more audible. They're quiet but well recorded and separated in the mix on the far right. If you listen on headphones or computer speakers they're lost. Th
