I forgot to mention it on the episode, but people have asked me if I would ever put out a tune book, and I might at some point, but if you want clean printed settings of many of the tunes I play I’d recommend Matt Seattle’s book: Geordie Syme’s Paircel o Tunes:

Improvisation at St. Clement’s Church on the Isle of Harris from Oyster Wives Rant:
Improvisation in St. Clement’s Church on the Isle of Harris
I call this an improvisation, but it is heavily influenced by a lament I wrote for my father and Corrienessan's Salute. When we were on Lewis and Harris in 2019 I wanted to see this Church, which was a burial site for McLeod Chiefs hundreds of years ago. In my head MacCrimmon pipers would have played in this building for these chiefs. In reality St. Clement's Church was built in the 1520s, and therefore went out of use almost immediately because of the Reformation, but MacLeod chiefs continued to be buried there for some time. By the late eighteenth century it was in desperate need of restoration, which it received only for a fire to undo that work. In the 1870s it was restored roughly to its current state. It's a remarkable building, complete with Sheela na gig. We lucked into being there on a very rainy Sunday afternoon and had the church to ourselves for half an hour to explore and record a couple of tunes.

I’ve included the written texts I got from folks in the off chance I mispronounced things so badly you won’t be able to connect the threads:
+X+X+
From Dan Nolan:
I’m playing “my first HG was made by luthier Gordiy Starukh of Lviv Ukraine which I bought in 2019. It's a 3 stringer in DG and in a style that dates to the 18th cent. The songs are Un Canadien Errant, the wandering Canadian, which was written in 1842 as a lament for rebels exiled from Canada after the failed Lower Canada Rebellion, 1837-8. The 2nd is A La Claire Fontaine, by the clear Spring, which dates back to 1604 and was originally a song of lost love but also become a resistance song after the British takeover following the F&I War. I wanted to learn some French Canadian song for French reenactors at vous and the Battle of PDC Wi. since a unit portraying the one that fought in that siege would come from Canada to participate in the event as it neared the 250th anniversary of the battle.
From Ryan Kirk: Mary Scott
Hey Jeremy here’s a quick run at Oswald’s variations on Mary Scott, a tune I learned from your podcast! I [am playing] an Aulos plastic [flute], copy of a 18th century Grenser. Very nice Instrument for the price. Thought about a wood one but humidity control in our old house is not great.
From Dave Rowlands:
This is 'La Bernardina' by Josquin des Pres (1450-1521). Not known as a composer for bagpipes, but the leading composer of his time. I have chosen this because a) it is a new find for me, b) because if pipers had access to this music and good instruments they would have played it, and c) because we should not be hidebound to 'tradition', just because it does not come from a bagpiping tradition, does not mean we cant play it, and i cite Amazing Grace as just one case. This is played by Three Swayne D pipes, and one Swayne G pipe. I hope you like it and include it. Best wishes, Dave R
From Charlie Rutan:
Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle is the traditional Italian Christmas carol played by zampognari. Originally called 'Quanno Nascente Ninno', it was written down in 1754 by St Alphonsus Ligouri, with text in the Neapolitan language: and became so popular that it was later translated into Italian and became 'TU SCENDI DALLE STELLE', undergoing several small changes in its melody during that process. The melody probably existed in various forms for several centuries prior to its 1754 transcription, and is still a basis for many improvised PASTORELLES by zampognari today. I'm playing both Ciaramella ( the Italian folk oboe) and Sei Palmi Zampogna on this track. 'Sei palmi' refers to the length of the instrument's longest chanter, measured by the outsretched palm of the pipe maker's hand, much like the 'cubit' of the ancient world. Zampongne have existed in this form since at least the early 1300's; where we have evidence of the instrument being played in frescoes dated to that time. The zampogna is endemic to southern Italy, exists in about 20 different iterations in several sizes, and is a thriving bagpipe tradition to this day. Hit https://www.bagpipesfao.com/ for more zampogna fun.

Patrick MacDonald’s North Highland Country Dances (George MacLeod)
Thanks to Keith Sanger for identifying Patrick MacDonald’s North Highland piper.
I read some Excerpts from:
Ian Grimble, The World of Rob Donn (Edinburgh: The Edina Press, 1979).
+X+X
Tune 1: Joseph MacDonald’s Jig. Likely named for Patrick’s Brother. Somewhat awkward dotting and cutting.
+X+
Tune 2: G# Tune, Whip her and Gird her, Note that Patrick annotates every G if there is a sharp in it, not just the first one (unlike other settings in this section).
+X+X+X+
Set from Cold and Raw
1808: Apples in Winter
From O’Farrell’s Pocket Companion:

Patrick MacDonald’s North Highland Country Dances (George MacLeod)
Tune 3: Far Awa Wedding is how I play this tune most (I think) from Donald MacDonald, not sure I included it but has an f grace note on an f up to a high G.
+X+X+
Tune 4: Shaggy Grey Buck? I feel like I’ve seen this tune in Donald MacDonald, note the c grace notes to D, sometimes from a C c grace, D.
+X+X+
Tune 5: Stumpie: Similar gracing style, with the e grace note on an E, also like that c sixteenth note as grace note in this tune.
+X+
Tune 6: Lord Reay’s Jig…Lord Reay’s Piper possibly, Tune is in A Minor (C Maj) but with the F marked as Sharp. Slightly atypical gracing style from previous (though more conventionally GHB with an E gracenote for transition of C to D. also note the one F being sharp… next one not labeled Natural…
+X+
Tune 24: Lord Reay’s Jig (slightly different than 6) the F sharp, F nat seems more clear here because of the repeat of marked f# it’s cool that both tunes use the F sharp F Nat it’s the Double F Dilema for a Wizard!
+X+X+X+

Here is a link to the music Theory video Rod shared with me about the way white supremacists have used music Theory:
https://youtu.be/Kr3quGh7pJA?si=GQqtJUc7O6VFbIc6
I recorded this episode about a month before this article often discussed with some sort of click bait title like “Pythagoras was wrong about music theory” (speaking of clickbait, did you know academics and journalists alike don’t often get a say on the title of their work, so if you see a particularly egregious title, don’t necessarily hold it against the author). The abstract is that our “western musical theory and the idea that there was universal harmonies, and that good music is just about consonance and not dissonance” is obviously a really limited perspective on what good music is, and intrinsically apparent to anyone who plays a drone instrument, or regulators.

From Barry Shears on the Playing of Joe Hughie MacIntyre:
“This recording is from The Shears Collection.
Joe Hughie Macintyre (1891-1968), Rathad Fraingach(French Road) Cape Breton county, The tunes are Tulloch Gorum, Sandy Cameron, Eight Men of Moidart, Miss Proud. Joe Hughie was descended from Duncan MacIntyre, Clanranald’s mid 18th century piper. The family came to Cape Breton in 1826 and piping continued to play a prominent role with successive generations producing 28 pipers and chanter players down through the years after immigration. I was taught to play by Joe Hughie’s first cousin, Angus MacIntyre of Glace Bay.
Joe Hughie only started to read music after his retirement so many of the recordings I have, many with piano accompaniment, reflect some of his later repertory., but there are still a few gems among his own music. I provided several of the tunes in his repertory in both The Cape Breton Collection of bagpipe music and Play It Like You Sing I, Volume 2: https://capebretonpiper.com/content/play-it-you-sing-it-volume-2 .This last book has 249 tunes from various areas of Gaelic settlements in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Since no two pipers played the same way from area to area, I have transcribed the music with minimum grace-noting since most pipers will add their own embellishments anyway.
I am also including the reference from Joesph MacDonad’s Treatise, regarding paying dance music and doubling up of the notes which describes the piob embellishments used and most examples listed can be found employed by CB pipers I have recordings of. Not exactly as they played in 1800 perhaps, but still some shadows of two the tunes were played.”

I’ve included the written texts I got from folks in the off chance I mispronounced things so badly you won’t be able to connect the threads:
+X+X+
From Dan Nolan:
I’m playing “my first HG was made by luthier Gordiy Starukh of Lviv Ukraine which I bought in 2019. It's a 3 stringer in DG and in a style that dates to the 18th cent. The songs are Un Canadien Errant, the wandering Canadian, which was written in 1842 as a lament for rebels exiled from Canada after the failed Lower Canada Rebellion, 1837-8. The 2nd is A La Claire Fontaine, by the clear Spring, which dates back to 1604 and was originally a song of lost love but also become a resistance song after the British takeover following the F&I War. I wanted to learn some French Canadian song for French reenactors at vous and the Battle of PDC Wi. since a unit portraying the one that fought in that siege would come from Canada to participate in the event as it neared the 250th anniversary of the battle.
From Ryan Kirk: Mary Scott
Hey Jeremy here’s a quick run at Oswald’s variations on Mary Scott, a tune I learned from your podcast! I [am playing] an Aulos plastic [flute], copy of a 18th century Grenser. Very nice Instrument for the price. Thought about a wood one but humidity control in our old house is not great.
From Dave Rowlands:
This is 'La Bernardina' by Josquin des Pres (1450-1521). Not known as a composer for bagpipes, but the leading composer of his time. I have chosen this because a) it is a new find for me, b) because if pipers had access to this music and good instruments they would have played it, and c) because we should not be hidebound to 'tradition', just because it does not come from a bagpiping tradition, does not mean we cant play it, and i cite Amazing Grace as just one case. This is played by Three Swayne D pipes, and one Swayne G pipe. I hope you like it and include it. Best wishes, Dave R
From Charlie Rutan:
Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle is the traditional Italian Christmas carol played by zampognari. Originally called 'Quanno Nascente Ninno', it was written down in 1754 by St Alphonsus Ligouri, with text in the Neapolitan language: and became so popular that it was later translated into Italian and became 'TU SCENDI DALLE STELLE', undergoing several small changes in its melody during that process. The melody probably existed in various forms for several centuries prior to its 1754 transcription, and is still a basis for many improvised PASTORELLES by zampognari today. I'm playing both Ciaramella ( the Italian folk oboe) and Sei Palmi Zampogna on this track. 'Sei palmi' refers to the length of the instrument's longest chanter, measured by the outsretched palm of the pipe maker's hand, much like the 'cubit' of the ancient world. Zampongne have existed in this form since at least the early 1300's; where we have evidence of the instrument being played in frescoes dated to that time. The zampogna is endemic to southern Italy, exists in about 20 different iterations in several sizes, and is a thriving bagpipe tradition to this day. Hit https://www.bagpipesfao.com/ for more zampogna fun.

1900: I would not have known to look here were it not for John Glen’s monumental work on early Scottish melodies, if you hadn’t noticed it is Glen’s collection that makes up much of the archival copies of these texts I rely on:
https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/91349758
?: Carolan’s Setting for Variations came likely from Donal O'Sullivan's work of tunes actually composed by Turlough O’Carolan (b.1670-d.1738) I got the transcription (and apparently also a key change) on Vince Brennan’s remarkable website, with ABC copies of all the tunes:

Note this setting is likely not Carolan, also, that you shouldn’t say the “O’” before Carolan’s name if you’re speaking English.

“Looking For Whiskers
Bearded men find themselves unwontedly popular at Cambridge just now. They are gravely or hilariously saluted by undergraduates with cries of ‘Beaver!’ This is part of a game which the young wits of the University have devised in which pointes are scored by the player who first sights a bearded person.
From Gloucester Citizen, Gloucester, England, Wednesday May 17, 1922 Volume 47, 115
From the Evening Telegraph (Dundee, Scotland) Tuesday october 3, 1922 Day By Day
“There is absolutely no truth in the story that when a Royal figure wearing a beard entered a Cambridge function the undergraduates rose to their feet as one and shouted, ‘Royal beaver game, set, match.”
“When Aussies wore Whiskers from Thursday Aug 2, 1934 Gloucester Citizen, talks about men wearing beards being scorned by barbers, and harassed on the street by cries of Beaver.
Jan 20, 1941 Gloucester Citizen, “Ban on ‘Hitler’ Moustache but ‘Beavers’ are Popular
Discusses how beards fell out of fashion, but are back in for military personnel after WWII.

Tunes:
From James Moyar: She Moved Through The Fair,
James said of this track: “She Moved Through the Fair” played on Walsh polypenco 4-drone Scottish small pipes tied into a quiet piper bag, D-chanter, synthetic reeds, with singing.
First known instance of transcription: “Irish Country Songs,” 1909, Padraic Colum. Alternative titles include, “Our Wedding Day”.
I’ve heard versions of the lyrics that end, “happier,” with her not being dead and them getting married. I skipped a verse or two to make this recording shortER than it could be, though it’s still pretty long.
This is the first song I learned to sing with pipes, by listening to Judy Barker’s Chanters Weave album a lot, and following the arrangement in Timothy Cummings’ “How Can I Keep From Singing,” collection, though I’ve done it so many times that at this point I think this is at least kinda-unique. I do like messing with the lyrics to get as much alliteration as possible…. But a tune as old and as popular as this one has sooooo many renditions floating around, it’s hard to imagine that there’s a lot I could do with it at this point that would be truly, “original”.
From James: Death and the Sinner
James said of this track: played on Booth Blackwood Drones, Bordeaux Redwood reeds, tied into a gangway hide bag, with Warnock chanter that’s been altered to allow for, “extra notes”. In this case, the extra notes are a G#, high-B, and high-C#
Alternative titles include, “Cold in my Coffin,” and, “The Night of my Wake” - all really awesome titles, though, “Death and the Sinner,” is my personal favorite. I first heard it on Uilleann pipes here, and immediately fell in love with the melody. I was really excited to find that it worked on this altered chanter.
One version of the lyrics goes like this:
The night of my wake there will be pipes and tobacco,
With snuff on a plate on a table for fashion's sake;
Mold candles in rows like torches watching me,
And I cold in my coffin by the dawn of day.

S6 E18 Drone Regulators Episode with a Harta Sample and tunes from Harta, Sean Reidy, David Asbrink and Juhan Suits

Info (Show/Hide)
S6 E18: Drone Regulators Episode with a Harta Sample and tunes from Harta, Sean Reidy, David Asbrink and Juhan Suits
This episode begins with a few tracks from Harta’s album, and then a tune from Cyberpiper (a Luxemberg Techno Uilleann piper) and then several folks experimenting with playing drones as a sort of regulator via extra tone holes or adjustable cork.
First Sean Reidy uses a foot pedal to cork and uncork a drone on his Scottish Small pipes, then David Asbirink treats us to three tracks on Sweedish Bagpipes, and Juhan Suits shares a track on Estonian pipes both covering and uncovering tone holes on the drones across their laps.
Check out Harta’s album here:

Here Is Ryan's Excellent write up if you'd like to see it as written:
English Guitar Notes:
Robert Bremner’s Instructions for the Guitar is a short tutor book containing a brief overview of the instrument and a small collection of popular English and Scottish tunes. The instrument described within is not what most people today would picture when they hear guitar. Instead of the six stringed Romantic or Spanish guitar - the direct ancestor to today’s classical and steel stringed instruments - the instrument described is what is now known as an English or Scottish guitar. This instrument had six courses of strings, but was a smaller teardrop shaped instrument strung with metal wire and tuned in open tunings. It is the ancestor to and most closely resembles the modern cittern or German waldzither. With its early wire strings and open tunings it was less suited to the more harmonically complex and delicate music played on the gut strung Spanish instrument. Nevertheless, it enjoyed widespread use as an instrument for popular and folk music.
The ‘Instructions’ portion of the text is relatively brief. It explains the tuning of the instrument (an open C major chord) and a few rudimentary techniques. Interestingly it describes a simple strumming technique and also suggests an alternating plucking with the thumb and forefinger, a common technique on the lute and other early stringed instruments now known as ‘thumb under’ that approximates the effect of a plectrum.
The musical selections themselves are mostly presented in simple settings. The music is provided in staff notation, rather than the tablature more commonly used for stringed instruments of the era. All of the music is transposed to C to fit the open chord tuning of the instrument. The texture is simple, mostly simple monophonic melody line with the odd open string drone or strummed open string chord for emphasis, when harmonically appropriate. In all but a few instances the music only calls on the player to strike notes on immediately adjacent strings, most often in melodic parallel thirds or a melody over an open drone string. There is none of the counterpoint, moving basslines, or harmonic figuration that is typical of Baroque or Romantic guitar repertoire. These factors along with the popular tunes suggests to me that the music was intended for an amateur audience and intended to be strummed as much as plucked. One could view the tutor as analogous to modern commercial ukulele books full of popular and folk tunes in simple arrangements.
The various Moorish tunes are interesting and of particular note. They are all extremely short and simple with a strong pastoral sound of open ringing intervals evocative of hunting horns and reveilles, perhaps intended to conjure the image of the trumpets popularly associated with the military bands of the Ottoman Empire.
In light of the above notes on the instrument itself, I have played the selected tunes on a modern steel string acoustic guitar, with a mix of pick and thumb and forefinger as appropriate.
Ryan Kirk, Nova Scotia Canada (thanks again Ryan!)

Jackson’s Airs, from Cannon Goodman
1860: Horse in the Pound, From Cannon Goodman’s “Jackson’s Airs”
(This tune has quite a few older settings under the name Humours of Dublin, including ones in Rook, Gow, and McClashan. I’ll likely look at these other settings in the future. There are also several Irish Settings under other names: https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Horseinthe_Pound
Goodman’s Setting:

1860s: Jigg from “Jackson’s Airs” by Goodman

This appears as Jackson’s Jigg, all the way back in O’Farrell’s 3rd pocket companion. It has several other titles, the “Jackson” name is seen as “Jackson’s Stranger”

Again, this dates back to the Thompson’s publishing Country Dance books in the 1770s and O’Farrell’s 1st Pocket Companion, I may do some more playing of this tune in the future.

Greensleeves, Strip Me Naked, Jacks A Live and Tom Edwards
I always enjoy looking through 18th century country dance books. When looking through Rutherford’s “Compleat Collection of 200 of the most celebrated Country Dances both Old and New which are now in Vogue, performed at Court and all Public Assemblies” I was struck by how much Strip me Naked sounded like Greensleeves, so I made up a set of Rutherford settings starting with a generic Greensleeves I played from what was kicking around in my head.
1765: Strip me Naked and Tom Edwards on Page 9, Jacks A-live on page 60
