Hello to you
Hi,
I have very often been looking at the forums for years, I found some that I should have joined in but couldnt. I now am on here.
I am John MacDonald and am in Scotland, I don't have any kilts and have not worn a kilt a lot but I do have The Great Kilt, the full Plaid, I have a lot of these. I wear them a lot.
If you don't know where you are going, any road would get you there.

I must say you have a very nice tune!

Thank you for the welcome, and have found out from you what I never knew. I had heard that Bagpipe music before but had never known it was called John MacDonald of Glencoe, I had never known that there was Bagpipe music called that.
And cousin do you know where you are from and what MacDonald you are.
If you don't know where you are going, any road would get you there.

In the Highland pipe world there's a large number of different tune-types/idioms and a classic and popular idiom is called "the competition 2/4 March".
There are many lovely competition 2/4 Marches, but it's hard to surpass John MacDonald Of Glencoe. It's so tuneful.
The ending phrase of each part, bars 7 and 8, is particularly nice but also difficult to play well, sort of a finger-twister.
