The Captain's Corner: June 2010

Wednesday, June 23, 2010. All Old Pipers Should Be Put Out To the Doubling Pasture. I received a very interesting email this week. The gist of the story centres around a 70 year old piper who wishes to compete - passionately rejects the aging process and wants to improve, which conflicts with his Pipe Major and instructor. Let the letter speak for itself! Do embellishments take priority over sound, phrasing, expression, and overall music? Should he quit and take up whistling? Here is my thinking:. Well, ...

The Captain's Corner: September 2011
http://captainscornerbloglog.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 4, 2011. Music lessons — hard work, so make sure they're fun. When Fiona MacPherson’s two young sons told her they wanted to quit piping, she was upset. "I asked why, and they said it wasn't fun," she said. After speaking with her husband — who is a musician — they decided it was important not to force their kids into it.So, the boys quit. Most of all, make it fun! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Andrew Berthoff - PD Online. On to the Next 20.

When he was a young boy growing up in Scotland, Robert suffered burns to his hands and feet. Although originally told he would never walk or make use of his hands, he later met a man who volunteered to teach him to play the bagpipes - he just had to learn to play them backwards compared to how most people play them.

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. The World's : a Pre-Qualified Stage. It's August once again and us faithful pilgrims make our way to Glasgow Green, the World's and a week of Piping Live. Some of us have been making this trek for more years than we care to remember - how long is a lifetime? 1966 was my initiation - way back when jetplanes were not the medium of travel. we travelled in a turbo-prop - yes a propeller plane - 14 hours each way!

The Captain's Corner: September 2009

Saturday, September 19, 2009. I have just come out of the Alaskan tundra from one of those life experiences . a week in tents fly fishing for rainbow trout, coho salmon and dodging the Coastal Brown Bear (the Grizzly when found inland). It was a week of seclusion - no lights visible N-S-E-W in any direction and only my 4 partners to converse with. Needless to say, much was revealed through thought and imagery! Links to this post.
