No, I am pretty sure that is not Doug in the long hair and beard. I have no idea where he has gone too. He had some pretty far fetched stories. I've known a few other people who could tell stories like that. But I always said; 'I don't care if a story is true; as long as it is a good story."

Uh-yep! That's the lovely Linda A. They had a daughter named Signe, born about '77.

Uh-yep! The truth is strictly over-rated around here. Gotta loosen up the imagination and Entertain and Educate.

Our memories are like didoes in the ice. They vanish.

Yet they are simply covered with the snow of old age.

They remain till the thaw.

Imagina!

So I guess we are on time for the ceilli, Gypsy. Cool beans!

I'm intrigued, curious, and wondering about the piper in that song.

Is he playing a Musette de cour or is it a Biniou?

there is not the drone of the Scots pipes, and I don't think that it could be the Germanic version of the pipes, either, though I've never heard the doodlewhack or whatevre.

Qui est-il?

It is always described as a cornemuse--which is really just the french word for bagpipe. He is Breton, so probably some sort of biniou. Every country in Europe except Norway had a bagpipe at one time. They lost popularity when the accordion was invented. The Swedish pipe is called the sacpipa, the hungarian is the duda, the romanian is the cimpoii, the Italian is zampona, the Bulgarian gaida, the Spanish gaita. In the British isles there are a lot of pipes besides the Scottish warpipes. There are the Northumbrian small pipes, there is the uillean pipes of Ireland, etc.

He is playing in the Concert Style of Ole Bull (1810-1880). Ole was called "The Paganini of the North" and had a tour thru the California Gold Fields (1850-51). Later, Ole founded a Community of like-minded Norwegians in Pennsylvania, called OLEANA.

A nearby neighbor of the past three years here in the mountains of Appalachia was a bagpipe maker and player. I often heard him playing his pipes. When my friend Karen visited me two years ago I took her down to meet him. She plays the Bulgarian gaida and is one of the few women gaida players in the world. We had a wonderful afternoon with him swapping stories. About a month ago, he got up during the night and went out to the woods behind his house and shot himself in the head.

The Norwegians don't need a bagpipe--who needs that when you have the hardingfele and dances like Telespringar and Valdres springar Which besides the Mezoseg of Hungary are my favorite dances in the world to do.

Well Gypsy those are some great songs there. I guess I'm covered since one set of grandparents are Scottish, but what are the Finnish pipes?

say hey - did anybody eat at Casa de Eva down there by the store on Telegraph?

We didn't have alot a dough in those days to go out eating, but we would spend money there.

Wow it didn't close until 1997.

Svenskin in a danskin it's complicated doing some things.
Now trouble's over, I am in deep green clover
Worry back in its cage where the bud bird sings

Sackbutts and tympans, kazoos and tin cans
A bagpipe from Sergipe and a hornpipe from a coasting vessel
Joined by a band of howler monkeys go together like chopsticks and learning the piano
Like Bukowski and Budweiser

Here's a fine set of Brazilian pipes. One's the tamarin, the other's the marmoset. You have to play these with a great deal of passion, as in most Brazilian musical expressions. They almost sound alive, sometimes. Have you ever heard a mambo played on the tamarin with concerti?
Boby Di Lan, the piper from Sergipe, is a fan of the tamarin. The marmoset, he says, is too heavy for marching and it's not comfortable without eating a large meal, so it's tough getting them in exactly the right mood for playing. So the tamarin's by far the more popular than ORGAN GRINDER'S MONKEY!*

thanks Marlow (my mom, not a big music listener had a Sebelius CD). I have a little container of dirt from the family farm there in Jalasjärvi, just down the road apiece (24 km) from Kurikka where Jakob and Hedvig lived before moving to Ironwood MI. Little known facts, but true nonetheless.
