T: Hearing the old songs
S: You never hear those old songs anymore. She won the cup at
Kinross with that song. Singing is her life, her mother as well.
JT's father was musical too. Her mother's youngest brother was Davie
Stewart. There were great pipers too, her uncles and great uncles
were all pipers. Donald Stewart the piper. [loud clocks in background]
JT's mother played the pipes too. She would play the pipes when
the bairns were fussing. The pipes would hang on the wall. Sometimes
she would play the chanter. JT appreciates people who appreciate
singing. Singing is a happy thing to have in your life. Some people
have no time for it. JT sings in the house, sometimes remembering
songs that she has not thought of for years. She has no time for
people who do not like singing.
