Dundee Lad

Way back in Jan ‘24 I used this album as a palate cleanser after a godawful song sullied the good name of all bagpipers around the world.

I finally got around to buying it.

Christ I hated this stuff as a kid. The ‘rents loved it and would listen to it all the time on the weekends but it drove me bonkers. Now, not so much. It doesn’t make me nostalgic for childhood and it doesn’t quite fire up the blood the way bagpipes and small pipes do but it does still stir the Scottish blood in my veins.

I guess I’ve become mildly obsessed with the Scottish Smallpipes

The music of the North American Indian/Native American has long been a favourite of mine but it wasn’t until the advent of the internet that I was finally able to get my hands on some bona fide recordings of real pow wow music. This is the latest in my small collection.
