Regards, Ron

Our family will be at the Embro Highland Games on July 1. We will have copies of the Sullivan Ross Collection of Pipe Music available.  Sullivan Ross (1828-1904) was one of the first bagpipers in Canada to compose pipe music; he lived in Harrington, Ontario his entire adult life.  He complied a large four volume collection of pipe tunes during his lifetime.  Some of the tunes have gaelic titles. Iain Millington compiled the 134 unpublished tunes from Sullivan's collection, including those composed and arranged by Sullivan Ross, in a single volume. This volume is being awarded as prizes in the piping competion at the Embro Games, July 1, 2008! This collection was recently reviewed in Scotland's The Piping Times and The Voice
