ViperPiper's Bagpipe Tunes

So sorry, the version I have is pointed as well. Good luck.

A piper and friend has died. Pipe Major Hugh McWhinnie passed away on September 18, 2013. Hugh was the former pipe major of the RCAF 400 Sqd. Downsview Base , Toronto.

Hi Bill, Sorry you are having so much trouble. I saw your post on the Compositions forum and am glad you posted the revised copy in the second post!
