Check out my compositions.

I have composed a few tunes and have some others in the works. I've also done some bagpipe arrangements of a couple of LDS hymns and a tune for a friend of mine, Rose. You can check out her blog HERE. She's done a very good job.

Anyway, it was suggested in a comment that I should post my compositions on this blog, and I thought that was a great idea. After all, that is part of my bagpipe experience and I'm proud of my pieces as simple as they might be.

So, if you'll take a check out the right column you'll find a table with some of these tunes posted for download.

I hope anyone who happens across this blog and downloads these tunes will find them fun, but if not - oh well ... I like them.

Oooh! I almost forgot!

I did get my son and I registered for solo competition this year. I decided to get it in early and I didn't bother "discussing" with my son whether or not he wanted to solo this next year. That was one of the problems last year that made us late; Teagan just wasn't sure he wanted to compete and I didn't want to fork out the money if he wasn't going to.

WUSPBA allows for a discount if there is more than one competitor in a family. That means that if Teagan and I sign up together the total cost is $35. However, if we don't sign up before the January 15th deadline then we each have to pay $35. That obviously doubles our fee.

When the deadline came and went and we were late, I just decided to bag it for the 2008 season and take a break from solo competition. I think both of us regreted the decision, but them's the breaks!

Anyway, this year we'll be back competing again.
