Yesterday's Funeral

Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun finally came out after two months of overcast and the temperature was in the high 70s or low 80s. A good day to be out playing pipes in the San Fernando Mission cemetery. I played for a long time after the service, probably about half an hour. The tuning went a little flat but just needed a bit of drone adjustment. The chanter stayed in tune with itself and in general the pipes were really singing. I played most of my funeral repertoire except I couldn't remember the start of "Tugainn Leamsa's Dean Cabhaig". Now that I'm home, it's obvious: it starts on F not D. Some days the memory just won't co-operate.
