    Unhappy EagleJCS on tape

    You can see me wearing my Scott red, playing my pipes for the Indiana State Police memorial service at the Sellersburg Post on May 14. I'm shown in the first 30 seconds or so.

    Look in the list on the right for 'Indiana State Police annual memorial". Currently near the bottom of the list.

    I apologize in advance for the EXTREMELY flat 'F' in "Amazing Grace". The tuning was perfect about 45 minutes before the service started - then it rained and got about 10 degrees warmer as a front came through (that's why they're in the garage instead of outside). Nothing I could do to fix it at that point. You can see I was NOT happy about it.

    The F improved by the end. The important item here is that through rain and temperature change the honour was made. Most of the non-piping community would not understand that the F-flat was not intended, or part of the score.

    Great performance anyway.

    I'm a little tone deaf and it all sounded fine to me. Well done, you should be proud
