Having missed piping for two weeks, I was back just today. First, as usual now, I checked email to make sure the session hadn't been canceled again. In the process I turned on public radio, which greeted me with the strains of _Scots Wha Ha'e_ --which I was supposed to have memorized-- via Berlioz's _Rob Roy_ overture! Despite performance imperfections, our pipe major this time declared that I had indeed memorized the tune correctly: official progress.
