For over 30 years I composed new concerts (over 360 tunes) for the Rideout family Burns Night Dinner & Concert held in the home of Doug & Betty Rideout, taking the place of their daughter Scottish Violinist Bonnie Rideout after she moved to Alexandria. The Pandemic brought the dinner to a halt. Doug has since passed away & Betty, my amazing back-up pianist over 30 years, retired to her home state of Maine to be closer to family. These two Youtube videos are raw rehearsal audios (we usually only needed one night's rehearsal) from 2015, not intended for others to hear, but a precious memory for me of all the wonderful years of writing and playing Scottish music together over the decades. Their family was very important in the development and composing style of my Scottish tunes and I will miss the concerts dearly.

 

Some of you may have already seen these, but hope they still bring you as much joy as they did me!
