The Utah Scottish Association also hosts a Highland gathering where bands around the area and major cities gather. Allthough playing the bagpipes may seem a hobby, Murdock disputes this. There were alot of womens groups who would outshine us at competitions, he said. Murdock is presently instructing a girl how to play, and once taught a local group of Jobs Daughters. Those interested in playing the bagpipes should be somewhat musically inclined, able to read music and keep time to music, said Murdock. He added that it also takes an awful lot of wind. Purchasing a bagpipe is no small investment.,. Murdock bought his for $80, today a comparable bagpipe will cost around $650. The instrument is available at Edinburgh Castle in Salt Lake City which also carries various other Scottish imports. Murdock says that, maintenance of the bagpipe is the hard part. The instrument is basically a leather bag fitted with five wooden pipes. A pipe called a chanter has a double reed and eight open holes on which the melody is played. There are also three drone pipes which are also fitted with double reeds. The leather bag is usually made of cowhide in the United States or sheep hide if it is made in Scotland. The bag must be treated with different materials and Murdock use said that some black strap molasses. The stocks of the bagpipe must be wrapped so they will not leak. Beeswax and vaseline are used by Murdock on the pipes so they . KAYSVILLE Most families usually hand down a tradition or two. For John Murdock, his family tradition is the bagpipes. The Kaysville-bor- n Scot was taught how to play the bagpipes more than 40 years ago by his brother. He is keeping the tradition alive by teaching his nephew. Murdock, his cousin and an uncle, who is over 80 years old, have been meeting weekly for years to play their bagpipes. Playing the national instrument of Scotland has kept Murdock busy over the years. He was active with the Utah Pipe Band and Salt Lake Scots for more than 20 years after they were first organized. ' One of his most memorable experiences was when the Salt Lake Scots played in the movie, Devils Brigade," with William Holden. It took about a week to prepare for the scene, three or four days to film it, and it was only about a ten second scene, said Murdock. He said that bagpipe music can be heard in the background throughout the mov- male-dominat- ' ie. is no Murdock Although longer in the bands, he remains active on the bagpipes. He receives vari- ous requests to play at events such as parades and weddings. Presently he is instructing Silver and Blue, a band from Hill Air Force Base. When playing the bagpipes, Murdock is clad in the traditional kilt. Each kilt has a differnt weave or pattern called a tartan. The different designs distinguish various families such as the Douglas tartan. Bagpipe players in their kilts are prevalent throughout the country. Each Labor Day, a ' Highland gathering is held in Santa Rosa, Calif., where novices as well as world champions meet. Murdock and his band won first place for ed old-time- . ; Murdocks Scottish interest does not stop with the bagpipe. He also enjoys making Scottish items of apparel.
