calling all musicians: in memory of Turpin

[piperdbh]

There is currently a thread in remembrance of Turpin, sporran maker and all-around good man. This thread is to announce to all musicians (or enjoyers of music) that on Friday 26 April 2013 we will have a worldwide musical tribute to our fallen friend. Play a slow air/lament followed by a jig/reel/march in memory of Turpin, and post in this thread your local time when you play. For example, I'm in the eastern time zone, so I might say, "'Highland Cathedral' and 'Highland Laddie' at 6:30 pm EST." Obviously some time zones have no XMarkers, but let's see how much of the world remembers him. If you're not a musician, but you have access to recorded music, that's fine, too. Just post here what you played and when.

What a great idea. I shall do that tomorrow.

I'm in....I've been playing Flowers of the Forest (privately) for a lot of old friends, "fur friends," and the way too often sad public tragedies of late.

Presumably you mean EDT, as that is what we are in currently

[Jon Lilley]

Weather and schedule permitting, I'd be happy to . . . ! Where did you hear he'd passed?

I'm not a musician, but I will play Pachelbel's Canon......done by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Do a youtube search. It's a magnificent tune. Then I'll play Caledonia. RIP Turpin!!!!

Not a piper, but allowing for the time zones, Highland Cathedral will be on the CD player at the appropiate time.

I will play "Flowers of the Forest" on my feadóg in his memory.
Edit:
I did it at 18:00 PST.

[piperdbh]

Wherever you are, whenever you want to play, just tell us what and when.

At sunset, 7:54 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, tomorrow evening my two favorite pipers will render "Flowers of the Forest", "The Dark Isle", and, as an anthem, "Where the Soul Never Dies".
