    That's it. Thanks for pointing it out. I was convinced it was in one of my books, but I looked all over without success. I have both volumes of the Gordon's collection, so that must have been where I saw it in the first place. I have often wondered how much of an influence John Stewart had on G.S. The Stewarts were travelers. In doing research on different pipers who emigrated to the PNW I found a lot of them being described as "tinkers" or "common" pipers. I suspect a lot of great piping was dismissed as being made by "tinkers" and "common" pipers. None of it was recorded either on paper or on shellac, but I've always wondered if the great leap that came along with G.S. might have something to do with his "tinker" relatives. Thanks again.
