i can't anything on reck on the internet - i'd like to know who taught him and how many recordings he made (i've only heard his contribution to 'the drones and the chanters') - he sounds like he was a remarkable piper, is it possible he is slightly overlooked?

It is a fact if you ask me.. I don't know much about him but i have "The stone in the field" on cassette (which i can't play anymore) and that record was made when he was really past his prime. I'd love to hear more of and about him!

There is an album put on by the Dutch Piper's - It's called The Humours of Holland. Tommy Reck plays 4 tracks on the album, and that alone makes it worth purchasing. Of course, there's oodles of other great pipers on there, too! You can get it from NPU!

You could also contact Emmett Gill, had a piping workshop with him two weeks ago, and he was very knowledgeable regarding Tommy's tunes and recordings.
