Music by Ludovico Einaudi, pianist Jeroen van Veen. And you could lie down in the big “Werkspoorkathedraal” in Utrecht.
Ludovico Maria Enrico Einaudi (Italian: born 23 November 1955) is an Italian pianist and composer. Trained at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, Einaudi began his career as a classical composer, later incorporating other styles and genres such as pop, rock, folk, and world music.
Einaudi has composed the scores for a number of films and television productions, including This Is England, The Intouchables, I’m Still Here, the TV miniseries Doctor Zhivago, and Acquario (1996), Nomadland and The Father.
He has also released a number of solo albums for piano and other instruments, notably I Giorni in 2001, Nightbook in 2009, and In a Time Lapse in 2013.
Coline plays some of Einaudi on keyboard, and we play I Giorni with our Folkband.

Just place all files in a directory on a php enabled webserver. The bash script is being run daily. (parsons bash script is called from this main script) These will generate 2 files One with the filename and all useful text like composers. And a file with the filename and the parsons code. Example:

Irmgard told me a week ago she liked “Sun in the stream” by Enya. I found a midi file a while ago, which i edited to get the accompaniment part only, without the melody line.
I played this after 4 times practicing, and learning to use some extra keys on the chanter while doing so.
I played the midi file on my Yamaha QY-100 sequencer.
While on holiday in Ireland, Coline, Monique and i went to the Joe Mooney Summer School of Traditional Irish Music, Song & Dance.
Every July Drumshanbo plays host to the award winning Joe Mooney Summer School, a week long festival of traditional Irish music, song and dance named after the man who did so much to promote the cause of Leitrim and his beloved town. The committee continue to emulate his high ideals, endeavouring to promote Leitrim’s heritage of traditional music while handing on the best traditions of the past to future generations.
While being in Ireland from 9-27 Juli, we drove around and visited many places.

One week was reserved for attending the Summer School in Drumshanbo, Leitrim.
Coline followed the Flute Course, Monique Bodhran and I Uilleann Pipes.
I was being taught by Brain McNamara.
Internationally respected as a performer and tutor, Brian McNamara hails from a musically rich rural region (County Leitrim) of Ireland which has produced notable musicians past and present and which has been prominently associated with the preservation and performance of Irish Traditional Music.
During daytime there were lessons, and concerts in the evening. We learned a lot!
While flipping through some books i own about piping i found this little book: “The Man & his Music” An Anthology of the writings of Breandan Breathnach. ISBN: 09509743
Below is a picture of my mobile LMS server i used in my car. I only had radio and a CD player, i’m not a radio man .. folk, pipes and audiobooks
At the time i was working for Dutch Railways, imagine me walking with this blinky leds thingy, though the railway station …
It consisted of a dual port usb charger, a usb hub to power the drive, the rpi wasn’t strong enough. Thumbdrives where small in capacity, so i had to use a spinning disk harddrive. It was only a raspberry 1, in a case i had designed and lasercutted at Fablab Utrecht.
Now you can get rid of the Usb hub and harddrive using a small but with large capacity sdcards.
I could charge the thing in my car, and when i got home, it would connect to my home wifi network, sync-ed my MP3’s and turn off.
Did a simple recording on one of our practice sessions.
Two tunes by Fred Morrison.
Fred Morrison was born and raised near Glasgow, but it’s the celebrated Gaelic piping tradition of his father’s native South Uist, in the outer Hebrides, that forms the bedrock of his intensely expressive, uniquely adventurous style.
We’ve been to South Uist in 2022, there are many passing places in the North and on the Isles. But the tune Passing Places was writting because Fred was commisioned to produce a soundtrack for a film/documentary about the Hebrides. The tune “The Road East” was written on a car journey from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
This is my low D whistle, I also want to play this on our Irish Flute.
I only know a few songs on this, but i needed to learn at least one to play in our band. This is in honour of my mother who alway encouraged us to play musical instruments.
This accordeon was het one she and her sisters learned to play on when they where young.
In 40+ years some things needed replacing!
