I wrote this tune for my father, who was long-time Chief Steward for the Pipers’ and Pipe Band Society of Ontario and managed all the solo piping and band events on games days in Ontario for many years.

    Dear Mr. McGillivray, Thank you for all that you do for the world of bagpiping! I have purchased many of your wonderful products. Would there be a recording of yourself playing this beautiful tune that we could purchase as an mp3?
    Sincerely,

      Thank you for your kind words, Pierre. I recorded this tune on my Lismore “World’s Greatest Pipers” CD way back in 1992, but unfortunately, that is now out of print. Sometime in future I will put a recording on the site. Jim

    Jim … my friend … I am so glad that you came up with this. … you are a great composer .. but to give you further kudos … you compose AMAZING Harmonies with “Seconds,Thirds and sometimes counterpoint 5ths …. a very difficult task for a professional”

      Thank you. This particular tune is mine but most of the harmonies on the website were created by Janette Montague.

    Best 6/8 I’ve ever played. If you love it it’s not difficult.

    Buongiorno Jim. Ho ascoltato con molto piacere questa jig e la sto imparando sulla GHB. Molto orecchiabile e… fantastica! Poi la invierò al mio maestro Alberto Massi per ricevere eventuali correzioni sulla tecnica esecutiva. Complimenti.

    Sorry. I write in English, now. I’m very happy to have learned your march (not jig, sorry). I have yet to perfect the third and the fourth part. I play it after “Leaving Friday Harbour” by John McCuscker, yesterday. Bye bye.

    I heard this lovely, lovely tune played by Stuart McCallum in a video online. It’s a real gem
