The Black Bear (Piping 100 Day 20) 

Jesse. I agree, it is daunting, especially for the learner, but very rewarding when executed properly and fitting all the g/n in. Also, many people seem to like this tune and request it. I'd say 2 years isn't unreasonable in that respect. Some tunes I work forever on to get them near as possible to my satisfaction. It's not helped that the second part is usually played differently by others, often incorrectly. Neils's arrangement here is one I'd refer pipers to as a benchmark. Barren Rocks is another tricky one fitting all the birls in sharply and accurately. Maybe Neil can demo that one, if he hasn't done so already!
