YES.  I would love to download bagpipe music.  I grew to love the
"Pipes" when Highlanders marched past my house as a child.  I didn't
know that they were played by Northumberlanders.

Hi, Tom!

Great to hear from you.

Even better: they have their own kind, with a lovely sound too.

I gather that they are used a lot in lieu of medieval and renaissance
bagpipes in "period" music, probably because they have the required nasal
sound with a less obtruse drone.

Take a look here:

Listen to some music played with them:

Even better: our own Dave Singletonis a maker, or at least great enthusiast,
of such pipes! How cool is that?!

What I'm after is to add a "basic," "representative" traditional
Northumbrian music CD to my collection, containing songs as well, also some
Border music.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
