How cool is that! I know he was a very hands-on manager of his music book sales. He’d cross-out and apply contact address corrections and write-in the correction of typos (as suggested in the post above, “John Morrison of Assynt House” – among other tunes – always required score corrections). His Book 1, btw, is generally regarded as a positive turning point in Highland bagpipe jig composition – and a jig-player’s Bible … M.

After I read the story, I went through my “Box o Music” and pulled out John Wilson’s Collection 1 & 2. My Father had these for years. Inside Collection 1 is Mr Wilson’d hand written signature!! Price on the cover is $5.00 USD and $6.00 on Collection 2. Cheers, Sean
