I found these a while ago in a wooden case in my basement: it was a stack of atleast 100 bagpipe records. My mom explained that these were my late grandfather's and that they were his favorite type of music. I posted this becuase i know some of you re-enacters enjoy this music if not play it yourself! I got around to listening to a few of them and my favorite by far is "Amazing grace" which happens to be my mom's favorite too. its late now but i will get around to posting the names of these tomorrow or next week.

BTW, My friend who is writing the U.F.O. novel also made Tom Berengers (Gen Longstreet) and Col. Freemantle's (British guy) uniforms for the movie. He also made again, Tom Berengers and Dale Dye's khaki uniforms for the movie Rough Riders. |

I have a zillion CDs featuring bagpipe music. And, another zillion in "Celtic" (Scottish/Irish) Folk music. As a piper, it gives me some pointers on how a tune should be played, especially in regard to speed. Pipe music is also inspring and I sometimes play it when I exercise. What most people are used to hearing is a pipe band playing the so-called martial music. These are the tunes to march to. But, there are pipe tunes for dancing (hornpipe, jig, strathspey, and reel). These are harder to play because a lot of them are played fast. The other kind of pipe music that I really like to play and listen to is the piobaireachd (pee-bruck). It is the classical music of the bagpipes. It is very ancient as it is the original music for the pipes; although, a lot of the tunes played today are only a few centuries old or sooner. Ironically, a lot of the marches that are still played today were written as early as the 15th and 16th centuries, yet these are not considered "classical".

Sounds like a fine selection! I have CD music by the Scots Guards and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, too! And, in additon, 99% of all pipers have the Scots Guards' two books of their regimental "sheet" music. I DO! |

I picked up a box of bagpipe music at a swap meet, some years ago. Most of the LP records date from the 1950's. I really should make a cd, or two of them.

I saw one of those advertized in the inflight SKYMALL MAGAZINE. It has all of the feature you mention, but looks like an antique RCA RADIOLA. |

Great pic! I was a little bit into bagpipe music as a teen. I had bought an LP with all the popular tunes, such as "Scotland, The Brave". That was my favourite tune...
