June Royal Mile Jam

Our June jam had a light but spirited attendance, consisting of myself, Chris Turner, Julie Gorka, and Catherine Chapman. Guitar, fiddles, and smallpipes made up our session.

We debated the confidentiality of the session, and concluded that the tune list was classified Top Secret, Need to Know only. The reasons for this involve the confirmation that Scottish smallpipes act as a jammer on fiddlers' brains, making tunes they've played for years suddenly unintelligible. This effect was proven on The Muckin' o Geordie's Byre, where the warm sounds of a cylindrical-bore chanter rendered a hypnotized Catherine helpless. Because of the implications of this new anti-fiddler technology on the fiddler-piper cold war, the entire contents of the session were held to be a state secret.

But this being Washington, D.C., secrets don't stay that way for long, so when I saw an empty flower pot with a red flag in it, this tune list was handed to a reporter in an undisclosed location. Since it's already leaked to the press, sure to make front-page news, I figured I'd save them the trouble and post it here.
