I've had your CD-ROM for years now, and am very grateful to the work you put in to that, as it made me start looking through the old collections. I've been teaching several tunes from "Aird's" collections to my flute class in Aberdeen for a few years now, and might never have been aware of that collection, and others, if I hadn't picked up your CD_ROM and found out about the Wighton Collection in Dundee. Many thanks for that, Kenny |
