I'll look for the group -- thanks for the tip.
Actually there was a Burns supper I played for some local WACKOS this January -- about 1/2 of whom I already knew -- small, private event. Should be playing for them again this coming January with a piping partner of mine I played it with last year -- but this year we're actually making some set plans and practicing new tunes special for the evening (whereas last year we just worked from our repitorie/SP).
Okay, I just looked for the group -- can you give me a little better direction to go in? I've already found the music section... Quote:

Eric,
Suas leis a' Ghaidhlig! - I've not learned yet, but I aim to.
In the mean time perhaps you can help me work out some phrases? One of the last ones I needed was "Beag ach Cumhachdach", which I got via a Seattle instructor for a tartan pipe/drum performing band I co-founded w/ 2 piper friends -- works like a pick-up game of basket ball -- maybe sometime if we've got a performance and you're on this side of the state you can join in. Same fellow gave me "Beag air Bheag" which is the name of a rowing tune I wrote -- not copyrighted so I'm not sharing it yet.
Comh diamhaoin le luidin an phiobiaire - none of us stop being piping students.
Mòran taing!
Don

Of course... as soon as I asked for help, then I found it. Quote:

BagpiperDon
Beag ach Cumhachdach means "small but powerful".
Beag air Bheag means "little by little"
Your pickup game sounds really fun. I am just a beginning student but am getting excited because I am getting ready to make the jump form the Practise Chanter to the big pipes.
Well hope this helps,
Cheers,
Eric
