| Lawrie--from experience some of the most beautiful and now appreciated pieces of music were written off initially as rubbish, incomprehensible, and as having no future. Read a book called A Lexicon of Musical Invective - a brilliant book with comments on how new music was first received over the years. Also from experience, I know that seeing how a score works, and understanding the inner workings of the music, helps people greatly with appreciating it. I don't find my proposal odd at all. It happens all the time where people want to understand more, develop as musicians, and keep up with developments. |

| David Matthews is a fan of bagpipes? I've been trying to get on tour with him for years! |

| "Lawrie" -- at least Donald MacLeod and GS McLennan had the stones to put their name to whatever they wrote. If you're going to say the stuff you say why not back it up with your name? Change your profile and be a man. |

| JanetteM - an odd proposal. I wonder if the likes of Donald MacLeod, G.S. MacLennan et al had to travel around and explain their works in order for their music to be truly appreciated..? Indeed, Michael's more 'straight laced' music never had to be explained either, just listened to. It was mostly superb. In this case, I think an 'e- book' is very wise..... |

| Just like the music, this looks like a beautiful book. Love the colour, the style, the title. Maybe if people can see how the music works, they'll have more appreciation of it. There again, many can't read music in the way you'd need to to understand a score. How about a world tour where Michael arrives at band halls with the book, and guides people through workshops on the medleys. Or study days arranged by piping organisations for musical development purposes? I can feel the feet digging themselves in as I type. Whatever, it looks like a beautiful book to have. |

| Am I the first one?!?! This is an amazing collection for sure. Not often people are willing to give up their tunes, nevermind whole medleys. Besides now people have a chance to physically see how this music plays out for themselves. Good luck.
