Coarse woody debris: Opportunity to connect with Stanford faculty senate about World Univ & Sch creating major online university libraries at WUaS in the ~300 languages (of Wikipedia / Wikidata), which Stanford and the Libraries' Wikidata Affinity Group wo

Dear Professor Moler, Roland, Hank and Jim, and Robert,
I'm writing to follow up on my email of last week to you and adding Stanford Medicine's Chair, Robert Harrington MD (as well as former President of Stanford for 16 years, and current chair of Alphabet, John Hennessy, and also Prof. Larry Viehland, chair of the board of CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School (WUaS), of which I'm the president). Because of the implicit threat of violence in Stanford Librarian Michael Keller's curious and unjust email, and other very varied 'alienations' emails from other different Stanford Librarians from around the same time, one recently banning me from the entire Wikimedia Movement (but I continue to receive Wikidata and other Wikimedia email list emails), and another from the Stanford Libraries themselves, whereas Micheal Keller's email suggested I stay away from all of Stanford, I'd like to bring to your attention some recent related Stanford "noose" Tweets from Stanford History Professor Tom Mullaney:
"In 2015 a noose appeared @DukeU. Their Pres spoke w/i *hours, publicly & forcefully, to this racist act. 10 days ago, a noose appeared @Stanford. Our Pres MTL & Provost Drell took 5 DAYS to speak: 148 words, boilerplate, on an obscure blog. PLEASE SIGN+RT"
In 2015 a noose appeared @DukeU. Their Pres spoke w/i *hours, publicly & forcefully, to this racist act.
10 days ago, a noose appeared @Stanford. Our Pres MTL & Provost Drell took 5 DAYS to speak: 148 words, boilerplate, on an obscure blog. PLEASE SIGN+RT https://t.co/KGVKK62sM5— Tom Mullaney (@tsmullaney) July 22, 2019
https://twitter.com/tsmullaney/status/1153364729966006277?s=20 as well as https://twitter.com/tsmullaney/status/1154038036310573064?s=20. (Prof. Mullaney was involved in some of my email exchanges with Michael Keller, as were Profs. Vogl, Greely, Campbell, and Hennessy). And I'd like to suggest that there's an analogy between both Stanford Librarian Michael Keller's implicit threat of violence, as well as Stanford Archaeology Department's Ian Hodder's related implicit threat of calling the Stanford / Santa Clara Police - and the recent handling of the racist appearance of a "noose" on Stanford's campus. And while I don't know the actual cause of these minacious emails, I speculate and question whether they're trying to conceal or hide something at Stanford, or prevent something from developing (WUaS?).
In the case of my involvement with the explicitly open online Wikidata Affinity Group out of Stanford Libraries and chaired by Stanford Librarian Hilary Thorsen (where World University and School donated itself to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and received the front end WUaS MediaWiki in 2017, but they aren't yet interoperable - and so WUaS is very involved in Wikidata, having made this significant donation of a major growth story for the Web), I attended 4 online Wikidata Affinity Group meetings in ZOOM, and have inquired a number of times in the about the possibility of creating major online university libraries at WUaS in the ~300 languages (of Wikipedia / Wikidata), which Stanford and the Libraries' Wikidata Affinity Group would benefit from greatly, and eventually with plans for online libraries in all 7,111 known living languages. In the case of the Stanford Archaeology department, I had inquired a number of times in emails, after a number of Archaeology talks, about creating a realistic virtual earth / universe and at the cellular and atomic levels for archaeology, (and i.e. for everything including medicine, and tele-robotic surgery for WUaS's online medical degrees planned in 200 countries' official/main languages) both on land and marine, and for archaeological robotics. Conceptually, this realistic virtual earth would be like and emerge from Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate with realistic avatar bots and be STEM field sites at World University and School and at Stanford, as well as online classrooms, and perhaps hosted on something like NASA's AMES supercomputer to begin with as a development from Google's computing cloud, both of which Stanford has relationships with.
Professors Moler, Greely and Campbell (48th Stanford university faculty senate steering committee - https://facultysenate.stanford.edu/pa...), in what ways does the Stanford faculty senate have oversight over Stanford academic (e.g. Archaeology) and research (e.g. Libraries) departments' relationship with the Stanford police and the Santa Clara police (which both Michael Keller and Ian Hodder curiously touched on)? And in A) World University and School's and B) the WUaS Corporation's ongoing collaboration with Stanford, such as with the Stanford Law Silicon Valley Director's Exchange, where, for ex., I met and talked with President Emeritus John Hennessy last September 2018 re developing the WUaS Press/Corp, and in numerous other Stanford departments and networks, how might I best and safely continue to attend Stanford events please, which are open to everyone, without the implicit threat of violence in doing so?
Again, how please, Professor Moler, would I bring both the questions of these curious, spurious and unjust emails with their implicit threat of force, as well as this "stay away notice" issue to the appropriate committees of the senate?
Thank you very much for your consideration of this matter.
All the best, Scott

Dear Professor Moler,
I'm writing to you as the chair of the Stanford faculty senate and with regard to a variety of spurious and unjust emails I have received from Stanford Libraries in recent weeks, which include most recently implicit threats of physical force, as well as various "banning" and "stay away from Stanford" notices.
In developing CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School, for Bachelor, PhD, Law, IB and MD degrees, and planning major online research universities in each of all -200 countries' official and main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,111 known living languages, as well as a realistic virtual earth /universe at the cellular and atomic levels too to which scientists will be able to add their simulations and research in a myriad of ways, and as STEM classrooms, I'm concerned about these curious Stanford Libraries' emails. I continue to attend Stanford events for learning, as well as knowledge-networking, and this most recent Stanford Libraries' email from vice provost Michael Keller would inhibit this. World University and School is an 'official' collaborator with Stanford Medicine's Center for Digital Health (CDH) (and an 'unofficial' collaborator with Stanford Law CodeX), for example, and in WUaS seeking to offer online medical degrees with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care and medical research, not being able to attend Stanford Medicine (or Stanford Law) events would interfere with the collaborations already in process between Stanford and World University and School.
Since the Stanford faculty senate has oversight for both academic as well as research matters, I'm including both Professors Hank Greely and Jim Campbell, both on the faculty senate steering committee, as well as another Stanford Law professor Roland Vogl who, along with Hank Greely, was aware of a series of Stanford Archaeology department emails in a related "ban" vein, again with an implicit threat of force. I assume Stanford Libraries would fall under the research auspices of the faculty senate, while the Archaeology department would fall under the academic purview of the senate.
How please, Professor Moler, would I bring both the questions of these curious emails with the implicit threat of force, as well as this "stay away notice" issue to the appropriate committees of the senate? Thank you.
Sincerely, Scott MacLeod

Dear Michael,
Due to the gravity of the situation, I've written an email to the chair of the faculty senate, Dr. Kathryn Moler - https://facultysenate.stanford.edu/past-senates/48th-faculty-senate - about these concerns, especially with regard to the threat of force. Two members of the steering committee are in this email chain. I think you should resign as well, given the unjust nature of these Stanford Libraries' very varied emails to me, for no apparent cause.
Sincerely, Scott MacLeod

Hi Bede,
(Linguistics' Professor at LaGuardia College - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bede-mccormack-63551315)
Nice to see you again this morning, and I hope you had a great sea voyage back to Long Island. Found this about Doggerland Bank - https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2012/12/doggerland/ - and will keep looking into it.
Here are some blog posts about marine archaeology (as well as Lego robotics that could be adapted to become marine archaeology robotics) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/witch-hazel-stanford-archaeology-randy.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/maritime-archaeology-video-of-rover.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/stanford-talk-connectivity-and.html.
And here's my blog label about 'ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy' as well - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - and interwoven in here are some about both.
Did you ever do any linguistic work about the outer Hebrides in Scotland, and the time in particular of the Lewis Chessmen 1100-1200s? Here are the Lewis chessmen - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_chessmen - and there's a picture here of a so-called berserker too. (See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserker -
). There would be a lot of Norse linguistic influence into this time and place (and Leod may be old Norse for both 'light' or shining or bright, as well as ugly:
Leod in old Norse is Ljótr - https://www.geni.com/people/Leod-1st-Chief-of-Clan-MacLeod/6000000002188078500 & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leod > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic (& in modern Norwegian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lj%C3%B3t%C3%B3lfr ?) Could Ljótr also mean light

https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1135243997830471680
Am quite active on Twitter. Are you there at all?
Here are World University and School's ESL pages -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language_for_Kids
(https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects)
Brainstorming-wise, am curious how I would add excellent free open interactive resources to this ESL page, in a way that would be helpful for people, and then to build out toward students interested in matriculating in English at WUaS until their first CC-4 MIT OCW-centric languages' universities at WUaS are up and running for example. Searched on "Best free ESL on youtube" and found https://www.fluentu.com/blog/english/learn-english-esl-youtube/ and https://www.teachthought.com/technology/11-best-youtube-channels-learning-english/ - which I may wiki-add soon.
Greetings to Aidan, and very nice to see you again.
Cheers, Scott

Overwhelmed with nurturing nursing? Nah :) I've sometimes wondered about the title of "Steeleye Span: Now We Are Six (album)" -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAkOkUCTYfs - and perhaps it's a British-ism re your "Well - now there are two!" - and a growing family! It can great to have siblings! You're a great model for having my own :) Congratulations!
Scot, Koh, Ants, Midori and Naoki,
Am having a Garden Party on Saturday afternoon August 10th around 5 pm on my porch in honor of the summer - may be a baby shower too. Potluck. We’ll have tea and veggies - hopefully from my garden in a box! Please come and partake in some yummies. (And put your musical instruments in the car .... have invited too some SCD musicians ... who may bring pink and blue Scottish Country Dance sheet music books too ... maybe we can explore playing some of these tunes in an improvisational way even! ... if we find our way to music-making! )
Greetings from Cuttyhunk island, MA! Wow, 2 sprog-lits! :)
Take care,
Scott

Cuttyhunk West End Ponds: "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin, than to realize it in virtual reality," Exploratory title for next book emerging
Hi Ma,
Have a good trip today!
First exploratory title for next book emerging:
"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin, than to realize it in virtual reality" :)
& re/from these poems ...
'The dance or the pools?'

Poetry (3rd book of this) and music (piping recordings) here ... and multilingual online university ... much ongoing creativity (thanks to you?:)
Pin says hi. Nice to talk with him last night. Maybe he can come out to Cuttyhunk in 2020!
See you on the Friday night boat. Weather report through Tuesday says sunny with highs of 81 or 82 degrees F - pretty nice (and not the 94 of the CYC party day!:)

*Hi M,
Storm brought the temperature way down - to pleasant - even with moisture in air. Heat and humidity of past 3 days, which were sapping me, relented ... and out I popped for a walk, up Bayberry to the Bunkers overlooking the West End Ponds and back down Tower Hill road turning left at Church to walk on Church path home. Liking the people I pass, off of boats, etc., the safety, beauty and views of Cuttyhunk. The 'subjectivity,' or roles, of men and women seems familiar and somehow affirming and healthy, and different from out west - or in Pittsburgh (sociology-wise). Cuttyhunk's a great place to roam around as a kid, eg as a teenager, having done so myself, and also seen kids doing this this afternoon. There's a freedom and safety for kids. Yay.
Heard from Christine Craig, and they're all looking forward to seeing you, Chris said. Nice to hear from her.
On with piping and a bit of housecleaning too since it's still a bit too wet to garden. Hope Bede McCormack will come over around 4 for a visit. He's an academic in the NYC area ...
Appreciating the relief from the heat, and adventuring out.
First mention of my upcoming 4th book - of poetry again - this autumn here, Ma - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/north-cascades-national-park-next-book.html?m=0 - and much more.
How's your day going?

Might I win a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship which would help World University and School develop further, and re my actual virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic and poetry project? Would be great!
Love, Scott

*Hi M,
Storm brought the temperature way down - to pleasant - even with moisture in air. Heat and humidity of past 3 days, which were sapping me, relented ... and out I popped for a walk, up Bayberry to the Bunkers overlooking the West End Ponds and back down Tower Hill road turning left at Church to walk on Church path home. Liking the people I pass, off of boats, etc., the safety, beauty and views of Cuttyhunk. The 'subjectivity,' or roles, of men and women seems familiar and somehow affirming and healthy, and different from out west - or in Pittsburgh (sociology-wise). Cuttyhunk's a great place to roam around as a kid, eg as a teenager, having done so myself, and also seen kids doing this this afternoon. There's a freedom and safety for kids. Yay.
Heard from Christine Craig, and they're all looking forward to seeing you, Chris said. Nice to hear from her.
On with piping and a bit of housecleaning too since it's still a bit too wet to garden. Hope Bede McCormack will come over around 4 for a visit. He's an academic in the NYC area ...
Appreciating the relief from the heat, and adventuring out.
First mention of my upcoming 4th book - of poetry again - this autumn here, Ma - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/north-cascades-national-park-next-book.html?m=0 - and much more.
How's your day going?
L, Scott
On the bunkers overlooking Gosnold's monument and West End ponds ... blustery but rain has stopped for now .... so beautiful too, M! How are you?

NtFs, Os, Victor, Trevor, and All,
East across the Atlantic from the USA, "Nontheist Quakers" are publishing, networking and organizing - and re Britain Yearly Meeting too, I've just noticed, and "NONTHEIST FRIENDS?" - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2019/07/22/nontheist-news/ - in the first email in this thread, is one example of this, and which mentions your writings, Os. And this "NON-THEIST FRIENDS USA (NTF), SILENCE AND MEDITATION" posting - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2019/05/30/non-theist-friends-usa-ntf-silence-and-meditation/ - is another example which I've just come across. And this posting mentions too the NtF video Victor and I made together, "NtFriends' Conversation about Meditation" - https://youtu.be/TBGIqp8EKfg - on March 7, 2019.
Great - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk - and it looks like one of their earliest most recent posts is from May 7, 2019, so please have a look seemingly new set of resources. Thank you Non-theist Friends' Network (which is British Isles-centric it seems)!
NtF / AQ cheers, Scott- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/nontheist%20Friend - - youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch (where "NtFriends' Conversation about Meditation" is located) -

Hi M,
A few sprinkles today, and now overcast. Glad to have gotten the World University and School Minutes done yesterday evening:
- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/07/minutes-for-wuass-open-monthly-business.html
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/forest-owlet-minutes-for-wuass-open.html
Am making daily forays into outside and inside garden and house work. Laundry next today ... Am very glad to be on Cuttyhunk (and could be even better with a partner:) ... could meet someone on the weekend of September 14th at Reed, for example, a 30-something Reedie MD at Oregon Health & Science University?
In addition to Q-tips too (all empty in the front bathroom) and fresh band aids (although there are some here which are quite old), could you possibly please bring out a new Brita with Brita filters for me (seeking to eliminate the slight metallic taste in the water!)
Got a Cuttyhunk Laser Sailing Hindu Bindi mark on forehead, and barnacle scratch on right sole of foot yesterday in an adventure! ...
Had an adventure Laser sailing yesterday ... all of the CYC Lasers need their boom rigging re-done (as I recall from last year and previous years too). Didn't put down the rudder all the way to hear it 'click' - and while out for Laser sail in the Cuttyhunk Pond - rudder slipped out in a puff of wind near Cuttyhunk Ferry, so I capsized, righted Laser, but because boom's out-hall wasn't right - i.e. it didn't really exist due to poor CYC rigging maintenance - such that when I righted the Laser, the pressure of the Pond water on the sail as the boat came up pulled the boom off of the mast's boom pintel. So with sail flapping and all the rigging every which way, I was able to ""sail"" (get) the Laser over to the back side of Jetty Beach and then put the mast back in, and the jury-rigged out-hall worked enough for me to sail back to the Yacht Club dock. An adventure ... reminded me of provisioning all the whaling ships over a couple of centuries - and of ships' crews and captains seeking to prepare for every single contingency under the sun on their voyages they could think of, based on previous voyages' knowledge. (May post a photo in my blog entry today of said "Cuttyhunk Laser Sailing Hindu Bindi mark on forehead":).
Am Scottish Small Pipes' bagpipe recording newly with WavePad application (just found this App online at top of a Google search list, and downloaded it free) and saved recording to the .WAV file format - which worked well sound-wise (and with MacBook Pro's microphone too) - then uploaded file to old unused Sound Cloud account - https://soundcloud.com/scottmacleod-com . Here's the recording - https://soundcloud.com/scottmacleod-com/my-home-on-scottish-small-pipes-on-an-a-chanter-from-college-of-pipings-blue-tutor-v3 (see, too: "Cape Cod National Seashore: "Tune Tutorials" for the Scottish Small Pipes on both A and D chanters" ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/cape-cod-national-seashore-video-tune.html). This process will work for recording all of CoP Blue Tutor Vol. 3's 21 tunes - as a kind of Tune Tutorial on both A & D chanters. (And may re-record Green Tutor Vol 1 as well!).
Am enjoying my visit to good old Cuttyhunk.
A Cuttyhunk Island, MA, vision? ... and relevant to the world even in helpful ways re care / culture / ethos / community ... and online even? In 2020? Long after the wondrousness of Cuttyhunk envisioning and living here in the 1960s / 1970s / '80s / '90s / 2000s / '10s (which I've explored before in my blog) Nice to have seen and talked with Grant and Cathy Schenck, Sarah DiMare and Pete Atwood, Chris Frothingham, Johnny Kidder and many other old friends at the CYC July picnic yesterday - all part of Cuttyhunk community and vision!
Love, Scott

It's this amazing, strong piping by Gordon Duncan where his fingers seem to become independent from one another, and he invents all kinds of new doublings and similar that I'd like to further come in conversation with for my upcoming Scottish Small Pipes CD in 2020.

12World University and School is seeking funding to pay the BPPE licensing fees, for WASC senior accreditation, and to hire graduate students (such as Stanford and MIT graduate students to teach 'sections' online to MIT OCW faculty in video, conceptually), much like the amount WUaS applied for in the WUaS National Science Foundation application, which $250,000 WUaS had understood we had received, had then gotten a DUNS number as part of the next funding step, but then learned that WUaS did not receive the NSF award.

Hello Lorne (Lorne MacDougall, bagpiper from Carradale, Scotland, who also plays with "The Tannahill Weavers," and with whom I've taken College of Piping Skype piping lessons),
Thanks for your email this morning. Great to have taken lessons with you in recent years. What do you have in mind by "I could sort out something through my own personal set up if you like though?" (having not heard back yet from Head of Piping Studies' Finlay or NPC Principal Roddy). Do you know Finlay or Roddy, by any chance?
Cheers, Scott
Just shared this with my mother re piping:
Looks like I'll get a B flat chanter, from Walsh Bagpipes in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, in the mail on Monday - there's a yellow package slip in my PO Box. And I've just finished recording all of the 10 Lessons' tunes from the College of Piping's Green Tutor Vol 1 on the D chanter (after recording all 14 of these tunes on the A chanter recently too). I'll record the remaining 4 tunes in the CoP Vol 1 appendix on the D chanter before I head to Cuttyhunk on Tuesday. This is a kind of video Tune Tutorial for anyone learning the Scottish Small Pipes with a D or A chanter, and a way for me to learn the smaller D chanter (fingers close together!) as well as which tunes are playable on it (key wise, within bagpipe sheet music), as well as getting familiar with recording myself, as well as getting past my perfectionism i learning in a new way. I have Kathryn Tickell's alternative beautiful Northumbrian piping (to GHB piping's 'formalism') in mind - https://youtu.be/HiuMwskhsGk & https://youtu.be/bWkmer6cgiM & https://youtu.be/vmjDbN48_vg - and appreciate too the somewhat completely independent creative piping space she's created culturally for herself, with a sound I also appreciate (a bit out of the box). (My university of Edinburgh tutor, in 2003-2004, and piper, BBC Pipeline's Gary West also appreciates Kathryn Tickell's unique and creative piping and sound I recall; she's also a really good musician). My MacBook Pro's microphone/set up doesn't record these tunes well - so am searching for a new somewhat professional microphone - all toward my upcoming SSP "Honey in the Bag" CD in 2020. In seeking a new Microphone, am thinking comparatively in terms of this USB microphone with MacBook Pro laptop, and seeking people with direct experience with these for piping/woodwinds :
BLUE MICROPHONES Yeti USB Microphone with Ultimate Recording Bundle - (Steel Red)- https://www.walmart.com/ip/BLUE-MICROPHONES-Yeti-USB-Microphone-with-Ultimate-Recording-Bundle-Steel-Red/739223498 -
I also got the CoP Blue Tutor Vol 3 the other day from House of Bagpipes in SF, which tunes I'm planning to record too, probably with the A chanter (and possibly with the D chanter - for further fingers-close and recording learning). And with the new SSP B flat chanter, I'll be able to both play along with the CoP Piobaireachd Gold Tutor Vol 4 for learning further the last 2 of its 4 tunes, and then may seek to record them in A on SSP as well as Tune Tutorial. This structure is helpful for me.
I heard back from Lorne MacDougall in Glasgow, with whom I've enjoyably and edifyingly taken Skype bagpipe lessons before, today, and who is happy to help with lessons, - having not heard back from the Piping Centre's Roddy MacLeod/Finlay MacDonald yet. ... (All interesting to think about re World University and School's online piping wiki subjects too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bagpipe_Tutorials and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Pibroch,_Piobaireachd_or_Ce%C3%B2l_M%C3%B3r and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_smallpipes_and_borderpipes and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Great_Highland_Bagpipe). Am seeking in lessons too a kind of teacher/producer (including in terms of what would sell CDs? - with blockchain & AI) of my upcoming SSP "Honey in the Bag" CD, and don't know what Roddy / Finlay know as producers, but think Lorne has some experience as a producer (although I'm not clear how oriented he'd be at all aspects of being a "producer"/teacher - eg the business side. Thinking in terms of Stanford, I wonder if Lorne or Finlay were incentivized by a portion of the sales of such a SSP CD whether he/they would be creative in these regards), or know people who might be. All part of a conversation.
In this learning by recording process re an old pattern in me of inhibitory self-consciousness when not playing perfectly, I play all these tunes well I think - https://www.youtube.com/user/sgkmacleod - but also not every single grace note / doubling is perfect in each tune on both A & D chanters. And for me, it's aiming to play the tunes and grace notes more and more musically (as rhythm section even somehow) and where this will grow with further playing daily and increasing the amount of time I play - without inhibitory self-criticism - is where I'm heading (a kind of "flow" for me and for listeners). I appreciate too building, learning-wise, on the D chanter especially (and with recording as well) with the structure of these 3 CoP Tutors as I head toward developing the tunes I'm planning to play on my "Honey in the Bag" CD which are these - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html.

Hi Lorne,
thanks for your email. Am set presently for lessons with Finlay at National Piping Centre, but will keep you in mind for the future in a variety of ways. I may have heard back from Finlay after a hiatus, partly thanks to you - so thanks. Am seeking with lessons to focus on making a Scottish Small Piping CD in 2020 I'm tentatively entitling "Honey in the Bag." Conceptually, I could see Catherine Ashcroft's musical partner here as a kind of producer/teacher in a broad sense in this piping (and could be one pattern for me in developing "Honey in the Bag"), since I find the playing of this tune - https://youtu.be/P40YOU8ggJk - beautiful, a similar beauty of which is a kind of goal of mine with the Scottish Small Pipes on my upcoming CD on all tunes.
Am currently listening to Jean Redpath's "Leaving the Land" - a favorite, which is about Canada and the Carolinas in the States of all places ... in this time of upcoming Scottish independence referendum possibly in 2022.
Thanks for the Zoom H2n microphone suggestion. In learning further about mics, am going to try the other 2 microphones I own besides the one on my MacBook Pro - the mic on my head set (which ear piece for headset just broke in Las Vegas airport as I headed east), and the mic on my smartphone for better recordings re "Tune Tutorial." Am wondering currently too about condenser mics (e.g. the Walmart YETI mic) vs dynamic mics (which I see most live piping recordings using). Getting a professional setup with my MacBook Pro, and thus USB seems logical for possible CDs and online music making ahead, even possible real real time live person-to-person in something like what comes after Google Hangouts closing August 1, 2019, but its successor starting at the same time. (Don't know where real real time music-making is in the Google road map, but am thinking they'll be the ones. Hopefully World Univ & Sch's Music School will be able to avail itself of real, real time music-making with time - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - for all instruments ever in each of all 7,111 known living languages, each a wiki subject page for open teaching and learning, and eventually with live teachers). Catherine Ashcroft's tunes use dynamic microphones I think (but not necessarily for a CD). Nice set of Uilleann pipes' sound-wise to my ear in this case. (As you may have seen in your Yahoo email address, from an email of mine about 2 hours ago or so to about 60 SF Bay Area Scottish music-making people, and referred to too, "have just made a new "Tune Tutorial" for both A and D chanters, where the Great Highland Bagpipe's chanter is in B flat mixolydian (often, sometimes, been getting sharper/ brighter ... bagpiping culture is its own world ... Shotts & Dykehead won 'The Worlds' with pipers' low A at 496 Hz in 1996, I've heard, or similar :) ...

Am continuing to seek a partner here to begin a family. Are you starting a family having kids yet already, Lorne, by any chance? I'd really like to begin a family, although I don't rue not having started before now (even given that I'm going to be a mature father when they get to be in their 20s:). On here too with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School - re Scotland WUaS too! - as well as my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project!

'Tune Tutorials'
as experimental videos for the
Scottish Small Pipes
on A & D chanters
playing all 14 tunes from the College of Piping's Tutor, Vol. 1
for those learning the SSP anew,
where the Great Highland Bagpipe (GHB) and its practice chanter too are typically in B flat mixolydian when playing with other non-GHB instruments.
All of these tunes are played with a single drone sound - in A with the A chanter, and in D with the D chanter. The SSP combo drone on my Walsh Scottish Small Pipes - which can be set to either an E or D - for creating a chord sound with the drones (and potentially only with specific bagpipe tunes in that key) is not used in these "Tune Tutorials."
I haven't yet played the SSP B flat mixolydian chanter, by will soon.

Good morning, M!
Just playing new tunes through on my D chanter from the College of Piping's Blue Tutor, Vol. 3 - nice tunes, and good for becoming familiar with the smaller D chanter (without yet using the Combo drone tuned to A to create a 'chord' which combo' drone tone will only work with some tunes in some tune's keys). Lovely tunes! Am playing them with these Guidelines for Practicing in mind - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm - and am up to #4 -
"4 Concentrate when you practice.
Yo-yo says join feelings into your music when you feel bad, to integrate your feelings with your mind and body"
and even slightly dancing a bit to them (re Yo Yo Ma's feelings' comment:).
Glad to have heard back from Finlay in Glasgow this morning. We've scheduled our first lesson for W Aug. 7th at 4pm in Scotland - re "Guidelines for Practicing" #1. And #2 and #3 are currently happening via my playing through the Blue Tutor.
#5 Relax and practice slowly.
... am doing this ... #6 too ... and so on ...
Liking the D chanter, but back to the A chanter as well, for the 2nd half of playing this morning. Am seeking to play for about an hour (since it's wet outside re gardening! But am seeking to garden as well when things dry off a little more).
Going to try the other 2 microphones I have with me besides the one on my MacBook Pro - the mic on my head set (which ear piece for headset just broke in Las Vegas airport as I headed east), and the mic on my smartphone, for better recordings re Blue Book Vol 3 as upcoming "Video Tune Tutorial" on both chanters ...
Thanks to Wynton Marsalis and Yo Yo Ma for these "Guidelines for Practicing" :)
Are you playing recorder with your recorder group now that you're back from UUA Summer Institute?
On with playing further now! And looking forward to seeing you soon - a week from today!

Hi all,
The web gods granted me temporary access to update the class listings on the Branch website. So that is done (though the class's own web page still needs updating). For future reference -- anyone who is a teacher or class manager should be able to log in to the website to make updates.

Wow, the web gods have indeed been good to you, Heather! May they also be so good to you eternally into the future - deus ex machina (i.e. dragon-drawn chariot sent by the sun god - the power of language!), and pas de basque too! :) Glad too the Branch is developing fruitful policy for web updates by teachers!
Should the Branch begin to use Google Sites for web sources, I'd particularly be interested in collaborating re http://worlduniversityandschool.org and related https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing school in multiple languages, for ex. ... Had a bit of trouble with getting DNS CNAME setting verified further, and working, with worlduniversityandschool.org's host 238+ days ago, so this is the kind of collaborating I have in mind.
Web god cheers - dragon-drawn chariot sent by the sun god - (You-rippa-dese, you-menda-dese as they say, literally translated by author / title as Euripides > 'Eumenides' (by Aeschylus) > Aristophanes ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina :) So be it in the RISQUE:) Berkeley Branch

M,
How's your day going? And what are you up to this weekend?
Made my first attempt at recording "My Home" in a Google group video Hangout - newly with my little ORANGE headset microphone, and with limited bandwidth from Cuttyhunk. "My Home" is the lovely first tune in the CoP Blue Book Vol. 3, and am curious how Hangouts' recordings will go (where Hangouts are phasing out on August 1, 2019 but will be immediately replaced by something similar).
Here's the test - "My Home (mic TEST) - 6/8 Slow Air - on the Scottish Small Pipes in A" - https://youtu.be/c3BWubw3k2w - where the little orange microphone basically feeds directly into the Hangout, instead of being independent of the video recording, which is probably the direction I'll head with recording for my "Honey in the Bag" CD ...
My "orange microphone" sound quality may be a little better than the MacBook Pro's microphone, and also with the drone sound, but it's still not great.
Probably worth seeking out a dynamic microphone, and find software on my computer - possibly Garage Band - which can feed into it. My "orange microphone" is probably a very little 'dynamic' microphone (in contrast to 'condenser' microphones), and it may be possible to feed it into Garage Band directly (and still do Hangout video recordings) ...
Suns out ... time to get out gardening before it gets too hot!
Love, Scott " "My Home" (mic TEST) - 6/8 Slow Air - on the Scottish Small Pipes in A "
https://youtu.be/c3BWubw3k2w
Looks like in this Scottish Small Pipes' recording I just came across on Youtube that one dynamic microphone is used for both chanter and drones, and which works, and that the video is separate, by way of comparison -
Mike Katz & Mike Whellans playing Scottish small bagpipes & harmonica
https://youtu.be/ui5h_ip_Un8
I like the improvisational aspect of these two folks playing together.

M,
Think I'm heading eventually for one excellent dynamic microphone (the familiar kind, with 1/8 inch adapter into earphone slot in MacBook Pro - for both chanter and drones) ... as part of the planning process for "Honey in the Bag" CD (with blockchain ledger and Google Doodle AI software for generating a few harmonies on sheet music?)

Hello Lorne (Lorne MacDougall, bagpiper from Carradale, Scotland, who also plays with "The Tannahill Weavers," and with whom I've taken College of Piping Skype piping lessons),
Thanks for your email this morning. Great to have taken lessons with you in recent years. What do you have in mind by "I could sort out something through my own personal set up if you like though?" (having not heard back yet from Head of Piping Studies' Finlay or NPC Principal Roddy). Do you know Finlay or Roddy, by any chance?
Cheers, Scott
Just shared this with my mother re piping:
Looks like I'll get a B flat chanter, from Walsh Bagpipes in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, in the mail on Monday - there's a yellow package slip in my PO Box. And I've just finished recording all of the 10 Lessons' tunes from the College of Piping's Green Tutor Vol 1 on the D chanter (after recording all 14 of these tunes on the A chanter recently too). I'll record the remaining 4 tunes in the CoP Vol 1 appendix on the D chanter before I head to Cuttyhunk on Tuesday. This is a kind of video Tune Tutorial for anyone learning the Scottish Small Pipes with a D or A chanter, and a way for me to learn the smaller D chanter (fingers close together!) as well as which tunes are playable on it (key wise, within bagpipe sheet music), as well as getting familiar with recording myself, as well as getting past my perfectionism i learning in a new way. I have Kathryn Tickell's alternative beautiful Northumbrian piping (to GHB piping's 'formalism') in mind - https://youtu.be/HiuMwskhsGk & https://youtu.be/bWkmer6cgiM & https://youtu.be/vmjDbN48_vg - and appreciate too the somewhat completely independent creative piping space she's created culturally for herself, with a sound I also appreciate (a bit out of the box).

Conceptually, I could see Catherine Ashcroft's musical partner here as a kind of producer/teacher in a broad sense in this piping (and could be one pattern for me in developing "Honey in the Bag"), since I find the playing of this tune - https://youtu.be/P40YOU8ggJk - beautiful, a similar beauty of which is a kind of goal of mine with the Scottish Small Pipes on my upcoming CD on all tunes.
Am currently listening to Jean Redpath's "Leaving the Land" - a favorite, which is about Canada and the Carolinas in the States of all places ... in this time of upcoming Scottish independence referendum possibly in 2022.
Thanks for the Zoom H2n microphone suggestion. In learning further about mics, am going to try the other 2 microphones I own besides the one on my MacBook Pro - the mic on my head set (which ear piece for headset just broke in Las Vegas airport as I headed east), and the mic on my smartphone for better recordings re "Tune Tutorial." Am wondering currently too about condenser mics (e.g. the Walmart YETI mic) vs dynamic mics (which I see most live piping recordings using). Getting a professional setup with my MacBook Pro, and thus USB seems logical for possible CDs and online music making ahead, even possible real real time live person-to-person in something like what comes after Google Hangouts closing August 1, 2019, but its successor starting at the same time. (Don't know where real real time music-making is in the Google road map, but am thinking they'll be the ones. Hopefully World Univ & Sch's Music School will be able to avail itself of real, real time music-making with time - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - for all instruments ever in each of all 7,111 known living languages, each a wiki subject page for open teaching and learning, and eventually with live teachers). Catherine Ashcroft's tunes use dynamic microphones I think (but not necessarily for a CD). Nice set of Uilleann pipes' sound-wise to my ear in this case. (As you may have seen in your Yahoo email address, from an email of mine about 2 hours ago or so to about 60 SF Bay Area Scottish music-making people, and referred to too, "have just made a new "Tune Tutorial" for both A and D chanters, where the Great Highland Bagpipe's chanter is in B flat mixolydian (often, sometimes, been getting sharper/ brighter ... bagpiping culture is its own world ... Shotts & Dykehead won 'The Worlds' with pipers' low A at 496 Hz in 1996, I've heard, or similar :) ...

Am continuing to seek a partner here to begin a family. Are you starting a family having kids yet already, Lorne, by any chance? I'd really like to begin a family, although I don't rue not having started before now (even given that I'm going to be a mature father when they get to be in their 20s:). On here too with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School - re Scotland WUaS too! - as well as my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project!

'Tune Tutorials'
as experimental videos for the
Scottish Small Pipes
on A & D chanters
playing all 14 tunes from the College of Piping's Tutor, Vol. 1
for those learning the SSP anew,
where the Great Highland Bagpipe (GHB) and its practice chanter too are typically in B flat mixolydian when playing with other non-GHB instruments.
All of these tunes are played with a single drone sound - in A with the A chanter, and in D with the D chanter. The SSP combo drone on my Walsh Scottish Small Pipes - which can be set to either an E or D - for creating a chord sound with the drones (and potentially only with specific bagpipe tunes in that key) is not used in these "Tune Tutorials."
I haven't yet played the SSP B flat mixolydian chanter, by will soon.

Good morning, M!
Just playing new tunes through on my D chanter from the College of Piping's Blue Tutor, Vol. 3 - nice tunes, and good for becoming familiar with the smaller D chanter (without yet using the Combo drone tuned to A to create a 'chord' which combo' drone tone will only work with some tunes in some tune's keys). Lovely tunes! Am playing them with these Guidelines for Practicing in mind - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm - and am up to #4 -
"4 Concentrate when you practice.
Yo-yo says join feelings into your music when you feel bad, to integrate your feelings with your mind and body"
and even slightly dancing a bit to them (re Yo Yo Ma's feelings' comment:).
Glad to have heard back from Finlay in Glasgow this morning. We've scheduled our first lesson for W Aug. 7th at 4pm in Scotland - re "Guidelines for Practicing" #1. And #2 and #3 are currently happening via my playing through the Blue Tutor.
#5 Relax and practice slowly.
... am doing this ... #6 too ... and so on ...
Liking the D chanter, but back to the A chanter as well, for the 2nd half of playing this morning. Am seeking to play for about an hour (since it's wet outside re gardening! But am seeking to garden as well when things dry off a little more).
Going to try the other 2 microphones I have with me besides the one on my MacBook Pro - the mic on my head set (which ear piece for headset just broke in Las Vegas airport as I headed east), and the mic on my smartphone, for better recordings re Blue Book Vol 3 as upcoming "Video Tune Tutorial" on both chanters ...
Thanks to Wynton Marsalis and Yo Yo Ma for these "Guidelines for Practicing" :)
Are you playing recorder with your recorder group now that you're back from UUA Summer Institute?
On with playing further now! And looking forward to seeing you soon - a week from today!
L, Scott

Hi all,
The web gods granted me temporary access to update the class listings on the Branch website. So that is done (though the class's own web page still needs updating). For future reference -- anyone who is a teacher or class manager should be able to log in to the website to make updates.

Wow, the web gods have indeed been good to you, Heather! May they also be so good to you eternally into the future - deus ex machina (i.e. dragon-drawn chariot sent by the sun god - the power of language!), and pas de basque too! :) Glad too the Branch is developing fruitful policy for web updates by teachers!
Should the Branch begin to use Google Sites for web sources, I'd particularly be interested in collaborating re http://worlduniversityandschool.org and related https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing school in multiple languages, for ex. ... Had a bit of trouble with getting DNS CNAME setting verified further, and working, with worlduniversityandschool.org's host 238+ days ago, so this is the kind of collaborating I have in mind.
Web god cheers - dragon-drawn chariot sent by the sun god - (You-rippa-dese, you-menda-dese as they say, literally translated by author / title as Euripides > 'Eumenides' (by Aeschylus) > Aristophanes ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina :) So be it in the RISQUE:) Berkeley Branch
Happy SCD and related music-makings :),

M,
How's your day going? And what are you up to this weekend?
Made my first attempt at recording "My Home" in a Google group video Hangout - newly with my little ORANGE headset microphone, and with limited bandwidth from Cuttyhunk. "My Home" is the lovely first tune in the CoP Blue Book Vol. 3, and am curious how Hangouts' recordings will go (where Hangouts are phasing out on August 1, 2019 but will be immediately replaced by something similar).
Here's the test - "My Home (mic TEST) - 6/8 Slow Air - on the Scottish Small Pipes in A" - https://youtu.be/c3BWubw3k2w - where the little orange microphone basically feeds directly into the Hangout, instead of being independent of the video recording, which is probably the direction I'll head with recording for my "Honey in the Bag" CD ...
My "orange microphone" sound quality may be a little better than the MacBook Pro's microphone, and also with the drone sound, but it's still not great.
Probably worth seeking out a dynamic microphone, and find software on my computer - possibly Garage Band - which can feed into it. My "orange microphone" is probably a very little 'dynamic' microphone (in contrast to 'condenser' microphones), and it may be possible to feed it into Garage Band directly (and still do Hangout video recordings) ...
Suns out ... time to get out gardening before it gets too hot!
Love, Scott " "My Home" (mic TEST) - 6/8 Slow Air - on the Scottish Small Pipes in A "
https://youtu.be/c3BWubw3k2w
Looks like in this Scottish Small Pipes' recording I just came across on Youtube that one dynamic microphone is used for both chanter and drones, and which works, and that the video is separate, by way of comparison -
Mike Katz & Mike Whellans playing Scottish small bagpipes & harmonica
https://youtu.be/ui5h_ip_Un8
I like the improvisational aspect of these two folks playing together.

Hi M,
Next Scottish Small Pipes' recording exploration at an easy tempo for learners ...
MacBookPro Microphone into Garage Band (as some audio file format) uploaded to Sound Cloud - https://soundcloud.com/scottmacleod-com - as "Tune Tutorials" for the CoP Blue Tutor, Vol 3 ... with its 21 tunes on both A & D chanters (whereas the CoP Green Tutor, Vol 1 has 14 tunes ... and the CoP Gold Tutor, Vol 4. has 4 Piobaireachds ... )
Did your recorder group at UUA Summer Institute experiment with recordings at all? (I bet Oberlin has great recording equipment:)
L, Scott

M,
Think I'm heading eventually for one excellent dynamic microphone (the familiar kind, with 1/8 inch adapter into earphone slot in MacBook Pro - for both chanter and drones) ... as part of the planning process for "Honey in the Bag" CD (with blockchain ledger and Google Doodle AI software for generating a few harmonies on sheet music?)
