Recorded September 3, 2014, in the Church at Alma College. Pipe Major Drew Duncan and piper John Urdiales help me get set up with the band equipment. The said my posture is incorrect. Profanity taken out of the file.

Alma College Pipeband: First practice

A narration track introducing you to one of the best girls I have met so far. I have never had the feeling of liking girls this much until I met Deborah Adeniji.

Who Is Deborah Adeniji.WAV

One of my friends Deborah Adeniji sings one of her Gospel songs that she does at her church. This is called "Every Praise", and she plays keyboard in the background. She is the girl I introduced you to.

Deborah Adeniji: "Every Praise"

Deborah Adeniji sings "Joy Joy Joy in the Presence of the Lord". She plays keyboard in the background. She is the girl I introduced you to. This song is in the key of C Sharp.

Deborah Adeniji: "Joy Joy Joy"

This is a very well-known Gospel song called "Lord I Lift Your Name on High". It is sung and played by Deborah Adeniji. She is a first-soprano in her church choir so she sings this part. The thing I love about her singing is her vibrato. Listen to that wonderful vibrato and you'll have an idea of why I like her so much. She accidentally hits the tempo button at the end, causing her to not keep up with the fast beat played. All she does to change the beat chords is play one note, as it's a keyboard. Deborah is the girl who I introduced to you. She might become a piper...

Deborah Adeniji: "Lord I Lift Your Name On High"

This is Deborah singing another one of her Gospel songs that she does at her church. She also plays keyboard. She may be a soprano but given her low notes, she also has amazing vibrato. This tune is playable on the bagpipes. Inf fact, she just loves the bagpipes. The people in the background are her friends.

Deborah Adeniji: "We Stand And Lift Up Our Hands"

This is Deborah singing another one of her Gospel songs and playing keyboard. She does another more exciting version of this song, and this features her famous high vibratoy note at the end.

Deborah Adeniji: "I Will Sing Unto The Lord" version 1

Another version of "I will sing unto the Lord". I dubbed this one the excited version. Forget that. Version 1 is the version with her famous high note with too much vibrato at the end.

I composed a short, two-line piobaireachd ground. Since Deborah has the most beautiful voice in the world, I taught her the system of chanting tunes to carry them forward to new pipers, called "Canntaireachd", and Deborah loves bagpipes. I thought that a regular piobaireachd ground would be too much. I taught her a system of canntaireachd that I made up on my own, and Deborah used half of mine with her own canntaireachd. I stole a few random phrases from random piobaireachds and stripped them together to make a good melody. That's why it may sound too much like "Lament for Mary MacLeod". She chants the ground, then I play the entire piobaireachd on pipes, with Dithis, Taorluath, and Crunluath variations, and then I let her chant the ground again. She is not a piper, but if she ever will be, she knows how to chant canntaireachd. Willie Ross said that canntaireachd is better than sheet music. We both agree. Given her amazing singing voice, her mother is an opera and gospel singer, so she probably learned from that. She is amazing, I will tell you...

I finally got my smallpipes going again. During the summer the blowpipe valve came off its tale and John had a spare valve and so he put that on my smallpipes. He's known for his "No More Deborah" syndrome, but this time, he was interested to know more about her. He does something that Deborah loves: canntaireachd. He even has vibrato, given that he is in the choir.
