A bit of an accomplishment!
So, in May of 2009, I started a thread entitled "What's in a well-rounded piper's repertoire?". My intent was to find tunes to ask for when the local band was playing at the pub.
Now, nearly five years later, I'm on the pipes myself, competing in Grade 4, and part of the local band!
I was looking back over the old thread and was astonished at the number of tunes that were unfamiliar to me then, that I can play quite creditably now!
Moral of the story is: If you've ever considered learning the pipes, then go find a teacher and learn them! It's a wonderful journey!
