For those of you who aren't aware, Bob Dunsire (creator of the Bagpipe Web
Directory and
BobDunsire.com's bagpiping forums) died away this past Monday after a long and
inspirational battle with cancer.
Since I am on the moderator team at BobDunsire.com, I got to know Bob fairly
well, but
like many, I never met Bob in person. (Ironically, a rare trip of mine in August
to
Washington near Bob's home coincided with their family trip away to visit
relatives.)
There are two new pages related to Bob on my site.
One, my interview with Bob for The Voice magazine last year:
www.bagpipejourney.com/articles/bobdunsire.shtml
Second, a page with a couple of compositions by Gord MacDonald in Bob's honor:
www.bagpipejourney.com/articles/bobdunsire-tribute.shtml
Unrelated to Bob Dunsire, there's now a index of piobaireachd tunes that are
located in
classic collections. If you need to find where a piobaireachd is located, this
page may help:
www.bagpipejourney.com/articles/piobaireachd-index.shtml
And one more page, that's going to be getting some editing when I get a
breather, is a list
of winners of the Gold Medal (Oban/Inverness):
www.bagpipejourney.com/articles/gold-medal.shtml
The above page may be expanded to include Clasp winners too, we'll see.
Rest in Peace, Bob. (His funeral was today.)
