Here’s mine…(one of ‘em, anyway) Pipe Major William Murray Taylor of the Seaforth Highlanders. He was a composer also but none of his tunes have appeared on iTunes (yet).

Ms. Demon: What a lovely thought and a nice way to remember them wot counts. You made me think of a graphic piece I did years ago about my father who died very early [in '55], my stepmother wrote a beautiful poem about him and I augmented it basically for the benefit of the grandchilden who never knew him.Wish there were more responses.
I wish I’d known both my grandfathers. My paternal was in the 2 wars, shot in the throat in the first one, and I’m currently reading his memoirs about the second one.
Thank you, Mr Foreign…I found this pic on a French website about First World War pipers. My Great-Uncle James was there too!BTW Blimpy, my emails are back!
Have any of your Grandpa’s tunes been published?
There are many pipers who are always interested in older, less widely-known tunes, and Jim McGillivray of pipetunes.ca is the chap to make his tunes accessable to the piping community.
