Wetootwaag's Podcast Of Bagpipe Power

Theme is pretty lose this episode, did some recordings in an awesome setting on the Isle of Harris a year ago, and they all sorta spill off from there. The Three Girls from Portree written by Angus McKay, Skye Boat Song first transcribed by Anne Campbelle MacLeod, To Daunton Me from O'Farrell's Setting and Robert Burns song and Corrienessan’s Salute composed by Roderick Dall Mackay

Huge thanks to Hamish Napier! Check out his Bandcamp Page! We listened to tracks from The River, and The Woods Album. https://hamishnapier.bandcamp.com/ Open up with a clip of me playing a Pibroch I wrote for Grand Portage on the side of the road in the Cairngorms National Park. Then I play a tune from James Aird’s collection “The Braes of Angus”. Then three glorious tracks from Hamish Napier: From the River: The May Fly Woods: The Tree of Life/Lightning Woods: The Highest Willows And Conclude with my playing “Michael McDonald’s Jig” in Carnasserie Castle in Kilmartin Glen. In the future when the world opens back up I desperately hope I get to revisit our hike in the Cairngorms up to Corrie Fee: https://www.nature.scot/enjoying-outdoors/scotlands-national-nature-reserves/corrie-fee-national-nature-reserve And also spend another night at Rosebank House (not Rose Cottage as I say in the audio) in Blairgowrie: https://www.rosebank-blairgowrie.co.uk/en-US/homepage

Episode Notes: First tune is a Piobaireachead I wrote for my grandparents and Family, called John and Mary Blair Salute. It was recorded on a hillside in Scotland on the shores of Loch Mor, (a bit south of the Falls of Foyers). I misspoke in the beginning here, I meant Ethnostate, not Eurostate, Europe is allowed to have states :) Next track is two Hornpipes, The Eric Rigler album in question was from 1997, and the Hornpipes were Plains of Boyle and Boys of Blue Hill. The O'Farrell Waltz's are The Salamanca and the Copenhagen Waltz. The Women's Set is The Female Hero (From James Aird's Collection), Well shot of her (from O'Farrell) and The Female Rake (also from Aird). and Finally the Oyster Wives Rant from Aird. Feel free to Email me with questions or comments at wetootwaag@gmail.com Thanks!

Let me Know you are listening! wetootwaag@gmail.com any hold outs from last round of posting episodes or are you all new listeners? Tunes Played on this episode: Highland Pipes set: Jigs from Angus MacKay's collection, and maybe some from Donald McDonald's collection too...not sure. Original Uilleann pipe tune (maybe) The Jared Wicks Let me know if you recognize this as a pre-existing tune! Highland Pipe Recording from Simon McTavish's Birthplace, Garthbeg, In Scotland, a bit South of Loch Ness, These tunes are: Dunrobin Castle, Wren's Death, Jenny Dang the Weaver and others form Angus MacKay's collection. Uilleann Pipes from St. Patti's day recording: The Bucks of Oranmore Finished up with recording from O'Farrell's setting of The Far Away Wedding, also compare it with MacKay's setting of Far away wedding 9/8.

So...It has been a while. I realized I have hours and hours of recordings of me playing since I last put up an episode and I need to get a handle on how to do a podcast again for my Dissertation research, so here's some piping! . . . . . .
