splendid! I think my pipes would only end up makin funny noises if I played such fast ornaments... really fantastic playing. it's just entirely clear and perfect
Just a quick line to put right one of the comments here. The tune was indeed written to mimic the sounds of a dripping tap but this tap was in married quarters, not a POW camp. Romantic though that story may sound to anyone who has not been so interned. Awesome performance, as normal for these gents.
@@MainlyHuman GS was at the Gordons depot for most of WW1, He was sent to the trenches in 1918 and became seriously ill in May of that year. The illness never left him and he died of lung cancer in 1929. It is said the dripping tap was the inspiration for the Little Cascade. At Barracks, during lessons with his father or at the Inveran Hotel where he stayed often with Angus MacPherson are all stories I have heard. He was never a POW though.
I haven' had peronal experience, but apparently its not that hard; the main thing is getting used to the bellows. However, like I say, I haven't tried it myself so I can't be sure.
When I emailed the BBC a couple of months ago to ask permission to upload onto RU-vid, a recording I have of myself playing the pipes on a BBC programme, I was told no - it's copyright! So how are others able to upload BBC programmes, when they are not even of themselves??? By the way, I recorded The Highland Sessions too - 3 hours of wonderful music!
That's the point! If you don't like pipes, why should you be bothered with piping vids, then? You do not have the slightest clue what you're bashing. I don't like (American) football. Would I be bothered with bashing the Pittsburg Steelers? No!
Hey jaksspring97, there's nothing for you to find here! If you don't like pipes then just sod off. But don't affront excellent Gaelic musicians like Iain and Allan MacDonald, bugger!
