Thanks, Teri.
The Bellingham Pipe Band has been plugging along under Craig Wood's leadership and instruction from SFU players. I started teaching there this winter and I also commute to BC to play with Robert Malcolm Memorial grade 2. I haven't met Bruce Merrick but I understand he hasn't been piping in some years.
As to the posting of these tunes it stems from a thread on the flute forum about playing the melody of "Wild Mountain Thyme" in the key of C on a D flute. The melody was composed by Frances McPeake but the lyrics were written by Robert Tannahill to the melody of "Braes of Balquidder." That is the first reel I learned on pipes. The strathspey is clearly the same tune. The setting and name are from the playing of the MacDonald brothers of Glenuig.
Cheers,
Aaron
