Wanderings Two

THIS WEEKS PLAYLIST

In my workshop office this week I have been listening to several BBC tapes of Frankie Howerd while assembling and reeding up a new G set of Leicestershire smallpipes.
At other times back in the 'dusty end' of the workshop this week I have been busy making the split stocks for last weeks production of G smallpipe chanters. They are a tricky combination of  wood, brass, epoxy glue and fibreglass resin. While waiting for various bits of glue to dry I have also been working on 12 bells for D Leicestershire smallpipe chanters, mostly in yew.
I love this sort of work and usually wallop on a CD and crank up my sound system to provide stimulating accompaniment.  I enjoy contrasts. Here is this weeks running order so far.

Elena Ledda and Sonos- Incanti.
Tommy Smith and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra- Modern Jacobite.
Mike Gulston- Barking.
Julian Clary (Radio 4 documentary on tape).
Kiki Dee- Amoureuse.
Duke Ellington- Vintage Performances.
Underworld- Pearl Girl (short).
Mahler- Symphony 9.
Inge Thomson- Shipwrecks & Static.
Kabir- by Abida Parveen.
Mahvavishnu Orchestra- Birds of Fire.

All great listening, though I still continue to be unmoved by Mahlers 9th..  Any helpful suggestions welcome.........
