Song list
Music selection has always been a little touchy with me. Oh I guess I should stick to the traditional "Scottish" and "Irish" music but I just can't. I want people to enjoy the pipes for their sound but in a way that's somewhat familiar. I like to choose music that profiles my audience. A few traditional numbers are familiar to everyone and most people expect to hear "Scotland The Brave" for instance. But playing all traditional music will bore your audience to tears after the first ten minutes. I have listed my tune selections below to try and cover the bases. Granted most of the music is traditional but I'm working to expand into more contemporary pieces.
