Incredible!

An amazing interpretation.

[Missouramule]

Wonderful - I'd love to hear you do that in KC this year if you're there.

[bagpipingpaddy]

far too fast! Wee donald wouldn't have it!

[MrDavidlfields]

The ability to have dozens of pipers play with "one voice" is amazing. Well done.

[argyll1854]

Outstanding

[argyllclaymor]

that means read, whereas in celtic languages, the lesson word used is Kentel (breton) cannt; canntaireachd, coming from the radical kant, cannt, means "sing", so piobaireachd is still teached today through the oral practice...

@natedog2004

these are not really lyrics, they are vocables used to teach the tune, the celtic people knew the writing but refused to use it because it helped much more training the memory, and to write a knowledge means that this knowledge can not be changed, so it perishes...

That's why in most european tongues coming from Latin, the word Lesson is used, it comes from latin LECTIO,
