NOTES FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR
- by Sylvia Miskoe

This month's tunes begin with two Shetland reels. Da Road ta Houll by 
Tom Anderson was composed in 1936 for a school prize giving in 
Haroldswick. Gordon's Favorite is by Ronnie Cooper. Individually they 
are great tunes but put them with Da Tushkar (11.10) and you have an 
arrangement for the dance Pinewoods Reel.

A Salute to Orkney Strathspey and Reel Society by Hector MacAndrew 
goes well with MacKenzie Hay by Scott Skinner. Both these tunes are 
taken from the Orkney SRS Collection.

The 6:20 Two-step was written by Jimmy Shand as the theme of "The 
White Heather Club." It got its title from the time that the program 
began, 6:20 PM and was originally published by Mozart Allan in 1960. 
Later James Cosh devised a Country Dance called The White Heather 
Jig. Cosh was partial to using 2-steps. His dance is 40 bars long so 
the music had to have an 8-bar tag added at the end of each 32 bar 
round. There are three recorded versions of the dance, one by Jimmy 
Blair and two by Jimmy Shand.



BOARD OF DIRECTORS UPDATE
- by Carolynn Marsh, Secretary

Highlights from the September meeting:

Welcome to Bruce Cobb, our new Appointed Member-At-Large on the SRSNH 
Board of Directors. After reviewing minutes, the Transaction Report 
and Annual Fiscal Report, we moved on to the Conflict of Interest 
Policy. In accordance with NH Charitable Trust guidelines this will 
be reviewed and declared annually by all board members. Sylvia 
highlighted upcoming gigs and activities and Brian Mokler updated us 
on the fast-approaching GALA 2001. The Music Director's position was 
a new agenda item, and after some discussion, it was moved to form a 
committee to begin defining and exploring this position. After 
sharing the final report from Don Young, who will be completing his 
term as Chairman of the Scholarship Committee, the Board expressed 
their appreciation for all Don's dedicated work and service.

Next Meeting: Wednesday, October 24. All meetings begin at 7:30 pm at 
the NH School of Scottish Arts in Manchester, and are open to all 
members. Please contact the secretary if you need directions. Members 
wishing a complete copy of the Minutes should contact the Secretary 
at whimsyhill@aol.com



BRUCE COBB JOINS BOD
- Sandy Lafleur, President

The SRSNH Board is pleased to announce that Bruce Cobb has joined us 
at the Appointed Member-At-Large. According to our Bylaws, the 
Member-At-Large is a "member advocate," someone you can direct 
questions or concerns to. (This is not to imply that any member 
cannot contact any Board member they wish should they have a 
suggestion or concern.) Historically, our Members-At-Large have been 
very important members of the Board because of their insights and 
perspectives. Even before becoming a Board member, Bruce contacted 
the Board with a suggestion which the Board considered and adopted. 
We are excited that he has agreed to join us!

Bruce began violin lessons when he was 8, playing in school 
orchestras, and later, in the New Haven Youth Symphony Orchestra. He 
began playing fiddle music in the early 70's, and was in a couple of 
different groups - one called "Sanctuary", and the other the Woods 
Hole Folk Orchestra. In 1976, he began working as an apprentice 
glassblower at Pairpoint Glass Co.

He moved to NH in 1980, working as an assistant to a glassblower in 
Epsom, and was in a bluegrass band for a few years. In 1985 he opened 
his own glassblowing studio in Pittsfield. Sadly, the fiddle 
basically gathered dust for the next 15 years, being played only 
occasionally. In May, 2000, after some personal losses, he decided he 
needed to play music again, and attended his first SRSNH Gathering.

Bruce has been a state-juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen 
since 1985. His home and studio are in Pittsfield, NH, and he shares 
his life with Evelyn Roberts and 4 cats. He welcomes visitors to his 
studio to watch him blow glass, and to see some of his work.

Those of you in attendance at the Gathering back in June 2000, may 
remember the beautiful cobalt blue vase that was presented to Barbara 
as a "thank you" for her years as Music Director. Sylvia had found 
the vase at the League of NH Craftsman's Store in Concord. Bruce Cobb 
was attending his 2nd SRS gathering that day - that vase was made by 
Bruce. Small world . . .



NH HIGHLAND GAMES
- by Kathy Thompson

Mountains and blue sky and comfortable lodgings--a chance to potluck 
together on Friday night--some time to jam--and an interlude with 
candles lit in harmony with others expressing grief and a bit of 
fear, confusion and always Hope. A relatively sober affair--this 
weekend. Spirit was there, but subdued. SRSNH played for a concert in 
Governer's Lodge on Saturday morning, for Scottish Country Dancing 
Saturday night and again in Governer's Lodge Sunday afternoon. We 
even fit in a rehearsal for the music we needed to play for the Ball 
on Sat afternoon. What can I say?  The people attending these events 
enjoyed themselves--with our enthusiasm and varying degrees of skill. 
Thank Heavens, there were some amongst us with talent! The dancers on 
Sat night could have kept on dancing -- all night !

At the Games 2001, not all the Big Names could make it--Beolach was 
stuck at the border, Alasdair Fraser could not get a flight and the 
Scottish Power Pipe Band from Scotland could not make it. But other 
people became the Big People that weekend--and gave of their time and 
talent. Tulllochgorum and Tulach Ard played on Sat night, and Halali 
filled Aladair's shoes. Hanneke Cassel played with us at the Scottish 
Ball--when she wasn't jumping up to dance! Brendan Carey Block (who 
was going to stay home because he broke his ankle) came and learned 
how to keep time with his other foot. He and Emerald Forman, who won 
the Junior regional fiddle contest, played with Brenda Stubbert to 
keep up the Cape Breton tradition at Loon. I believe Brenda drove 
herself all the way from Cape Breton which is a long, long,long way.

Green Mountain Coffee gave everyone free coffee. The Common Man has 
been rebuilt and those who need very little sleep told me they jammed 
there until 1:30 am Sunday morning. If you could not come to the 
Games this year, come next year if you can. You know who you are, we 
missed you.


GALA 2001 IS COMING!
- by Brian Mokler, Gala producer

Summer is over (it's freezing tonight in central New Hampshire), the 
music for the Gala is available, and it's time to start thinking how 
you will help ensure another resounding success.

Publicity: Our faithful audience is out there. They just have to be 
reminded of the need to buy their tickets before the last minute. We 
have lots (a few thousand) flyers to do this, but they are only 
scratch paper if they aren't distributed. Post and hand out those you 
already have. Collect a fresh supply at the October gathering to give 
to those you missed the first time. We want to share what is going to 
be a memorable event with as many people as the Audi can hold.

Rehearsals: The regular rehearsal dates are November 4th and 10th at 
the Annichiarico Music Theater and November 17th at the Audi (Concord 
City Auditorium). If you want to play at the concert, you are 
expected to attend at least two of these rehearsals. These rehearsals 
will all be from 1 to 5 pm.

The mandatory dress rehearsal is November 24 at Lakeshore Farm from 
noon until 5 pm. Final performance arrangements, sound checks, and so 
forth begin at 9:30 am on Sunday, November 25th at the Audi. With a 
bit of work we'll have the Audi thoroughly cleaned and polished by 
about 6 so we can adjourn to Sylvia's for jamming and partying.

Other Roles: We still need volunteers to serve as ushers, help in the 
lobby, serve refreshments at intermission, and so forth. If you don't 
want to play or have a family member or friend who is interested, 
this is a great (and quite essential) way to participate in the Gala. 
Besides, it means you get a free ticket so you can relax and enjoy 
the concert while the performers are trying to remember if now is the 
time to go into the next tune. Certainly "free" must appeal to that 
bit of Scot in all of us.

If you still need music, contact Sylvia Miskoe, or pick it up at the 
October session. If you have any questions about the Gala, call 
Sylvia Miskoe (603-225-6546) or Brian Mokler (603-286-8211).



SRSNH MEMBERS COMPETE AT NHHG
- by Elly Abelson & Don Young

What was to be another exciting New Hampshire Highland Games, running 
from Friday, September 14th through Sunday, the 16th, turned doubtful 
after the disaster of September 11th. Flight schedules were 
non-existent, and the number of people who were prevented from 
traveling to get to the games, whether performing artists, judges, 
competitors or visitors, became an ongoing problem. The decision, 
however, was to go ahead with the games.

The fiddle competitions were directly affected. The novice 
competitions scheduled for Friday evening were to be judged by Rev. 
John Turner of Virginia, a ten-time winner of the US National 
Scottish Fiddle Competition. These were to be followed on Saturday 
morning and afternoon by the New England Regional Competitions, to be 
judged by Graeme Scott of Inverness, Scotland, a three-time winner of 
the Scottish National Mod and solo fiddler for the Inverness 
Fiddlers. Graeme was also scheduled for workshops on Friday afternoon 
and Sunday morning. Graeme's original arrival time at Logan Airport 
was Wednesday evening, September 12th. Naturally, that flight never 
left Scotland. On Friday morning at 7:45 am, our time, Graeme Scott 
called me from Glasgow to say that he had reached the airport, and 
just been informed that the flight would not take place in time for 
the games. An entire pipe band and a harp judge were stranded with 
him. Ten minutes later John Turner called to report that his flight 
from Virginia had been cancelled and that he was taking the 8:15 am 
train. It would take him approximately 12 hours to reach Loon Mt.

Fortunately, Ed Pearlman, the former director of the Boston Scottish 
Fiddle Club, and an approved judge, filled in for both Graeme and 
John, doing Graeme's two workshops and judging the two novice 
competitions on Friday in John's absence. John, in turn, arrived in 
time to judge Graeme's competitions on Saturday.

Sylvia Miskoe judged the All Instrument competition. All competitions 
went smoothly. The judges were first rate. The competitors played 
well, and the judges were pleased with the quality. All in all, the 
games were a remarkable demonstration of many people's ability to 
adapt quickly to change under difficult circumstances.

SRSNH was well represented among the stewards and registrars. Isobel 
Abelson was the MC for the fiddle and all instrument competitions, 
announcing with aplomb competitor names and the tunes each would 
play. Ellen Bassett and Jim and Dee Robinson registered the 
competitors, kept them quiet and calm, and saw to it that they 
appeared when their turn came to play.

Our SRSNH competitors were terrific, carrying off four of the six 
first place awards given out. These winners are Emerald Forman in the 
NE Regional Jr. fiddle class, Allen Brown in the Sr. Novice fiddle 
class, Alicia Lekas in the All Instrument Open class, and Myles 
Matteson in the All Instrument Jr. class.

Other SRSNH members who placed in the competitions are Jane Law, 2nd 
in the Sr. Novice fiddle class and Eden Forman, 4th in the Jr. Novice 
class. These musicians are a tribute to the high musical standard of 
our Society. All are to be congratulated.

Several members of the Strathspey & Reel Society of New Hampshire 
recently participated in the Scottish Harp events at Loon Mountain as 
part of the 26th annual New Hampshire Highland Games. Nathaniel 
Chasse, son of Wayne and Katherine Chasse, and Fiona Graham, daughter 
of Mary Graham, participated in the elementary evaluations for the 
wee folk. Gillian Graham, another daughter of Mary, placed second in 
the Junior Amateur competition. "Sam" Friedlander placed second in 
the Senior Amateur event. Taurean Chasse won the Open Competition. 
With the title he wins a trip to the Edinburgh Harp Festival early in 
2002. Great performances by SRS members and their families.

Plans are already underway for next year, so start thinking about the 
competitions you plan to enter, and the tunes you want to play.


MUSIC DIRECTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE
- by Sandy Lafleur, President

The position of Music Director was discussed at the September meeting 
of the Board of Directors. Sylvia Miskoe has served as our Interim 
Music Director this past year, and has agreed to serve for the 
2001-2002 year as well. We have been very grateful for her leadership 
this past year! Our Bylaws state that the Music Director is appointed 
for a 3-year term and so it was decided that we should begin to look 
at options for the future.

The Board created a four person "Music Director Search Committee" 
composed of both Board members and interested people from our 
membership to accomplish this task. The committee will be charged 
with exploring options with the goal of meeting the future Music 
Directorship needs of the SRSNH. Vice President Bob Reed has 
volunteered to be on this committee. Sylvia has offered to serve as a 
consultant. If you would like to be on the committee, please contact 
me as soon as possible. Additionally, if any member has comments or 
suggestions, please contact any Board member.


FEBRUARY SESSION LEADER NEEDED

SRSNH needs someone to lead the February 24th session, as Sylvia will 
be away. You pick out the tunes, 2 to 3 pages worth, get them to 
Ellen Bassett by the first of February, and lead the session. It's 
lots of fun. Please let Sylvia know if you are interested, 
603-225-6546 or smiskoe@aol.com.


SEND IN YOUR TUNES
- by Sylvia Miskoe

Every other year we have a session devoted to tunes written by 
members. This is the year and March is the month. The deadline for 
submitting tunes is December 15th. Send your tunes, either in 
finished form or needing to be transcribed, to Sylvia Miskoe, 102 
Little Pond Rd, Concord, NH 03301. Space necessitates one tune per 
member. If you send more than one tune I will use the first one I see.

influence was his older brother Tom who played the pipes. Best known 
as lead singer and guitarist of the Scottish traditional band Ossian, 
Tony was also a founding member of the bands Alba and Jock Tamson's 
Bairns. In addition to being widely regarded as one of Scotland's

First I Went to Caledonia. Recently, he has been working on a second 
solo album, and touring and recording with a new band, Windbags, that
