    For piping in the haggis procession, I like to play, "A Man's A Man for A' That"; and, for piping away the procession, I play, "Niel Gow's Farewell to Whisky."

    I think those are concidered the standards as for as the piping on and out of the haggis tunes. Somebody (I can't remember his name right now) has just put out a book called "The Complete Burns Piper" it's available from The College of Piping website, they did a little write on it in the latest Piping Times. It's a compilation of all the Burns tunes that can be played on the pipes as well as the protocol of playing at a Burns supper.

    If any of you pipers that have all these tunes down have some of these books that are not being used anymore, I would consider purchasing them to continue my learning process.

    I have FAR fewer than 40 down solid. I have a block against memorization I guess.

    A guy could go broke on all the stuff he has intention on doing.
