I just listened to the feeds and I hope everyone else was as inspired and moved as I was with the "Heavenly sounds." Thanks for this my friend.

I've grown up listening to the pipes, and I love the sound of the pipes with the brass blending so beautifully. Listening to you brought tears to my eyes. You have nailed it - perfect pitch.

Richard, you are truly gifted. God has blessed you and you are making the most of it.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Here it is Doug. Click on the link HOLIDAYBRASSL.A. below. When the page pops up, look to the photos on the right side of the page. Notice there are small "slide indicators" that there is an option to play a sound track. You should get a sample of music. I clicked the piper (that "OC " guy in the t-shirt) and got beautiful pipes and brass accompaniment.

Thanks, I had them blocked. Do not know why, but that music brings tears to my eyes. Lovely.

thanks!

Yes a McCallum B-flat (466) chanter, polypenco, with a Steve Megarity reed. What I love about that McCallum Bb chanter is that I can switch the same reed between that chanter and the band chanter, a high-pitch McCallum.

There are a couple clips of Highland Cathedral from last night, shot on people's cell phones and posted on FaceBook, on my FaceBook page
