Wonderful sentiment, Stacey!! Go find young folks your own age and put your spin on the music. I always laugh at the purists who act like it is heresy to play the music as you hear it in your own mind. They show that they are about the form and not the substance. Fact is that the one thing that is traditional in Irish/Scottish music is that it will change age by age, and sometime artist by artist. I have pointed out before that the same piper might play the same tune differently in two playings. The tunes that were played by pipers in 1950 were definitely different than when the music went ensemble in the 60's. Just find folks and let your young ears and minds run with the music. It will be exciting for you, and exciting for us.

And check in with us from time to time. We promise not to grumble too much.

All the best,

Mick
