No, Keith,
No pipes & drums.
I subscribe to the theory that the Irish invented the bagpipes & gave them to the Scots, who still don’t get the joke.

I know this is off topic but a little bit of history about the pipes

I heard it was an Irish inventions, a vacuum cleaner with all the attachments going into the one bag. After yrs trying to develop it, Paddy through it in the rubbish, where Donald Mctaggart spotted it he decided to try and blow the dust out to see if that would fix it .....

Hi Ray (Nomad)
Live music hey? Do you collect DVD's of live performances? If so, have you ripped the audio off them?

I much prefer live music (these days, now we can afford it).
Just returned from a performance in our town by the Cologne Chamber Philharmonic, a string sextet: three violins, a viola, violoncello & double bass.
AMAZING!!
Watching the fingers of the violin soloist Sergey Didorenko flying through Vivaldi, Mozart, Paganini & Saint-Saens was sheer delight! What’s more, he did the entire performance without sheet music in front of him!
And the violoncello player, Dmitrij Gornowkij blew us all away with his performance of Paganini’s Moses Variations — played on ONE STRING!
The story is that Paganini was performing it when three of the four strings progressively broke… so he carried on, doing the whole thing on his one remaining string!
Have not heard that story before, always wondered why… thought it might have been written as a challenge to other players. Apparently Paganini had unusually long fingers which helped him stretch up & down the strings.

If anyone is interested, they are playing in Echuca Sunday afternoon, then Beechworth Sunday evening.
Google it.

Just to let you know: I have very catholic tastes, my CD collection includes classical, 40s Big Bands, 60s rock (Shadows, Beatles etc), country (ballads, not the achy breaky heart stuff), the Goons, Peter Sellers & Rowan Atkinson.
Oh, and Monty Python…

The reason I ask is I have just about every DVD of the Stone's concerts over the years and live in concert is them at their very best. I wondered for awhile how to make the live stuff more portable, then after a lot of googling, I installed DVD rip software and bingo. I was able to run each DVD and copy the audio direct to my C: Drive and now enjoy any where and time.

Just a thought for you and maybe you might have already done so.

Cheers,

Wayne
