At the weekly group lesson, we were given the components of the Grade III MSR (March/Strasthspey/Reel) to learn. The march is Borthwick of Borthwick (sometimes I wonder at Their choices for tune names), the Strasthspey is Colin Something and the Reel is Colonel Somebody.
I've got the general idea for the march. The S and R need a little assistance, mainly because I have never heard them played.
I added a big flat net pocket to the inside of my pipe bag for flat things: flag, letters, tuner, etc. Had to do it by hand because the bag wouldn't fit under the presser foot on my sewing machine. So I sewed it while watching Miss Marple last night on Mystery Theatre.
Traditionally, a piper served a 7-year apprenticeship before being unleashed on the unsuspecting public. This is my story.
