Pipe Major J.B Robertson playing Bonnie Ann, Delvinside, Miss Proud Bagpipes. Recording from 1927. Content courtesy of Jim McGillivray www.pipetunes.ca
Great stuff, his son taught me and was still playing yesterday in a massed bands event in Bideford, North Devon in his late 70's possibly early 80s. A wonderful man.
Excuse me, everyone: I am dead serious here: You do NOT know what you are missing here!!!!! Honestly, it is an absolute shame and horrible pity that almost every single person is listening to the raw, unremastered, warped and crackly versions of these old bagpipe recordings. This has to STOP! All these old recordings you have uploaded are honestly far, and I mean, FAR! from remastered. THey all still have the clicks and the warping and all that. So, in order to make the recordings obviously not so horrid, I went ahead and remastered everything and put them on my own CZcams channel, because I'm a stickler for good quality recordings. You see, I may be blind, but I could seriously make my living remastering recordings like this. I still don't understand why the College of Piping, the Piobaireachd Society, and other piping organizations don't even bother to remaster these recordings. I might get in touch with them and try to make them aware of this. You're honestly doing the piping community more harm than good! Why expose people to warpy, crackly recordings when they can be corrected? So, all of you who are listening to these records, may I ask you to please, pretty please listen to them on my own CZcams channel? I bought Tony Langford's entire collection, which has more piping on it than what was on Ross's Music Page. I have corrected all the clicking, all the warping, and all of the things that deteriorate from the music. So please, if you don't mind?
@@joebyrne5277 Maybe I'm too perfectionist. You see, I want to try to make audio sound as realistic as possible, so the clicks, warping, etc seem to hide the authenticity and make things sound more unrealistic. Like, I hate crackles that weren't originally there in the actual recording, warps bother the MAZZILLO out of me (I have perfect pitch) and I just want to make old recordings sound "realer". I don't think I've remastered this particular record yet.
@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 aah right. I know what you mean. Unfortunately it's just the recording technology that was around at the time. Primitive enough
@@joebyrne5277 Right. Although if you like to, feel free to take a listen to a rare 1917 piping record I remastered by taking out all the imperfections I possibly could. No clicking, no crackling, no warping and I also did an equalization on itt. If you click on my channel that should be the first thing you hear. I tried making it so it would automatically play on my CZcams homepage. Thing is, I can't put links in comments for some weird reason.
Proper pipes I tell ya what! God bless!!
Straight out of the goodies.
for anyone else wanting to listen to the individual tunes Delvinside begins at about 1:23 and Miss Proud begins at about 2:11

Thanks for the wonderful comment and glad you enjoyed it. Always a sign of a fantastic piper if they are still playing in bands at such a late age!
Miss Proud one of my all time favourite tunes .
Same here buddy. Shame it's not played as often as it once was
JB was the judge in my first solo competition - Hitchin Festival of Music 1966.
I'd like to see modern highlanders marching to this pandemonium!
Miss Proud is incredibly difficult to play. It's on the Scots Guards Pipes & Drums recording of 1950 or more likely 1959 Angel records.
This is a sweet recording, where did you find it?
Pas la moindre petite faute ! respect ...
Anyone know where I can find sheet music to this tune?
Bonnie Ann and Delvinside are both in Scots Guards Vol 1, Miss Proud you can get off www.bagpipe-tutorials.com/

Are you not able to hear the pipes?
