...Pipers (indeed all traditional musicians) should buy a copy and listen carefully to it. Not to copy blandly from it, but to understand the message contained within it. Music should be a living entity and not be preserved in aspic, every musician should strive to make the tune their own each time they play it. Fred does just that and for that he should be thanked. The fact that the music he produces is cracking to listen too is our added bonus. We may just be witnessing the birth (or is it rebirth) of piping for the new Millennium.
