What's in a well-rounded piper's repertoire?
I dearly love the pipes. One day I hope to learn to play (at least as well as a non-musical, hand-eye coordination challenged, dyslexic baboon
).
I was having a conversation with a friend the other day who, quite good-naturedly, suggested that "Scotland the Brave" and "Amazing Grace" accounted for 95% of the modern piper's workload. Of course, this is nonsense, but....
So, to all the pipers out there, what tunes are you called upon most often to perform?
What tunes do you wish you could perform more often? (I'll find this one useful when the local pipe band shows up at the pub!)
'A damned ill-conditioned sort of an ape. It had a can of ale at every pot-house on the road, and is reeling drunk. "
