[scots-l] Name this pipe tune ..Please
Help, please! I was looking a tune for a set of pipe tunes. This one came into my mind. Except I have no idea what it is called and how the next part goes. If anyone can help with a name or even the rest of the tune, I'd really appreciate it. It must be very well known for me to have remembered it. However it is not on any of my records or CDs. I am in a bit of a hurry as we may be practising the tunes on Tuesday evening. X:1 T:What is this tune? How does the rest of it go?

Jack Campin wrote: More Skinner trivia: at his funeral, Lochaber No More was played at his grave by G S Maclennan... I've been puzzled about that ever since I read it. GS died later the same year, and had been too ill to work for years. I'd assumed he had cancer, but maybe not. What kind of terminal illness leaves somebody totally disabled but still able to get up and do a performance like that? I've certainly seen some really unhealthy musicians summon up the energy to put on a great show. Bluegrass legend Bill Monroe was known on more than one occassion to go from the hospital to the stage. Jazz Violinist Stephane Grappelli was very feeble the last time I saw him, but when he picked up that violin, he was young again. My late friend, fiddler extraordinaire Randy Howard, was performing and doing session work while dying of kidney cancer. Up to a few weeks before his death he was on stage, doing what he loved. And he still sounded great! The power of music and the desire to perform can do wonders. http://www.danmozell.com 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] Lochaber No More
Hello All, Can some one recommend a good recording of Lochaber No More? I once heard it on a long out of print album called _Songs and Music of the Redcoats (1642-1902)_ sung (I believe) by Martin Wyndham Read. Actually I'd really like to get a copy of the LP (or CD if one was ever made). If you happen to have an opinion on where I could find it I would very much appreciate it. _Songs and Music of the Redcoats (1642-1902)_ Argo Records ZDA 147 (1971) Performers: Martin Wyndham Read The Druids (Keith Kendrick, John Adams, Mick Hennessey) Gerry Fox Musicians from The Band of the Scots Guards Thanks!

[scots-l] Scottish Minstrelsy Bicentenary 2002
FOR: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Also circulated to private and e-list addresses by email. Next year, 2002, is the Bicentenary of the publication of Walter Scott's 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border', printed in Kelso by Ballantyne. This is an opportunity not only for Kelso, but the entire Borders region. Our Minstrelsy Bicentenary Year offers the chance to celebrate not only the subjects of the ballads - places, ancestors, events, and stories - but the collectors such as Leyden, Hogg and less famous names like Shortreed of Jedburgh. We really can't let down our beleaguered Scottish Borders tourist industry, our visitors attractions and currently all-too-empty 'beds' by letting such a chance be missed. Since nothing has already been done by any of the regional authorities to capitalise on this bicentenary, a voluntary group is forming to get things moving. I have alerted the Scottish Borders Tourist Board, Scottish Enterprise Borders and the Borders Regional Council with a brief memo, and hope that this is now in the forefront of their minds for 2002. Outgoing Scottish Borders writer in residence Tom Bryan has agreed to join a proposed committee. So has Kelso writer and playwright Lis Lee, and Kelso Graphics printworks director Clive Dibbern. Borders storyteller and 'Guid Craik Club' organiser John Hamilton has already expressed his support and enthusiasm. One objective would be to publish a 'New Minstrelsy' reflecting 200 years of tradition and innovation in Border verse since Scott's day drawn from published works and new material. There are many other possible objectives involving traditional and contemporary music, illustrative and fine art, drama, readings, talks, walks and trails, workshops and far more for which funding and support must be gained now if 2002 will be turned into a year to make up for the foot-and-mouth led disaster of 2001. We intend to hold a meeting to from a committee, and make contact with anyone who can be of help. Those who are interested should contact me on Kelso (01573) 226032 or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] David Kilpatrick Maxwell Place Kelso TD5 7BB Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [scots-l] Song Request

I do not know the name, but have been searching for a tune with the words, these are my mountains, this is my glen. I would be very grateful if you could help by providing a title and possible printable music. It's called 'These are My Mountains'. Widely parodied :) A quick google showed lots of sources for the words, eg http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/1690/mountains.html http://www.numachi.com/cgi-bin/rickheit/dtrad/lookup?ti=MYMOUNT The Yet Another Digital Tradition page has moved to http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/ Funny - when I tried to go to http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/lookup?ti=MYMOUNT I got a nice error message with a quote from the Tao Te Ching. The song is here: http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/lookup.cgi?ti=MYMOUNT I thought of this when I saw the reqest: Oh I love Scotland's glens, and whatever else we lose Leave us our glens, our glorious glens Oh our mountains are grand, Ben Lomond Ben Nevis too You can keep all our Bens, only leave us our glens Glen Fiddich, Glen Dronach, Glen Livet Glen Grant Can you do without them, If you must know I can't Put a drop in a glass of Glen Spey or Glen Drotter It's a hell of a wonderful way to drink water ... ...but it's obviously completely unrelated.

That verse where the reciter of the traditional text in 'Philomel', forgot the 3rd and 4th lines of one verse and just repeated the 1st and 2nd, sort of threw me, and I lost track of where I was on the tune. It's really a delightful very old Scots ballad on a rare theme - marital bliss, no blood or booze.
