Piobaireachd Wednesday Bonus: You’re Welcome, Ewan Lochiel
This is the next of the series of Piobaireachd Wednesdays resulting from my visit to Winter Storm on the weekend of January 13-14, 2012. I was able to watch the U.S. Silver Medal almost in its entirety; I heard and recorded 17 competitors. I won’t post all of the recordings here (as I mentioned before the tune selection was not widely varied), but I will post the prize list. The top five players ended up playing four different tunes, so I figured the repetition would be minimal there.
So as not to spread the Winter Storm tunes out too much, I’ve decided to do a bonus tune mid-week. You can thank me later. The bonus tune is You’re Welcome, Ewan Lochiel, played by Dan Lyden. Dan is from Baltimore, Maryland and is the pipe major of the City of Washington Pipe Band. This performance earned him 4th place in the contest.
If you’d like to submit a tune to be featured on Piobaireachd Wednesday, please email me.
