Podcasts about braes

The source is the Burns song 'Ye Banks and Braes', which I selected more or less at random from an old songbook. I arranged the notes as instructed and played the resulting sequence on a recorder. The track has two parts and in the first I duplicated the recording several times, made various alterations to the pitch and created a round or canon, adding a degree of delay and reverb. The second part is the result of playing the notes in a totally random order, again with some additional delay and reverb.

Instead of the six stringed Romantic or Spanish guitar - the direct ancestor to today's classical and steel stringed instruments - the instrument described is what is now known as an English or Scottish guitar. This instrument had six courses of strings, but was a smaller teardrop shaped instrument strung with metal wire and tuned in open tunings. It is the ancestor to and most closely resembles the modern cittern or German waldzither. With its early wire strings and open tunings it was less suited to the more harmonically complex and delicate music played on the gut strung Spanish instrument. Nevertheless, it enjoyed widespread use as an instrument for popular and folk music. The ‘Instructions' portion of the text is relatively brief. It explains the tuning of the instrument (an open C major chord) and a few rudimentary techniques. Interestingly it describes a simple strumming technique and also suggests an alternating plucking with the thumb and forefinger, a common technique on the lute and other early stringed instruments now known as ‘thumb under' that approximates the effect of a plectrum. The musical selections themselves are mostly presented in simple settings. The music is provided in staff notation, rather than the tablature more commonly used for stringed instruments of the era. All of the music is transposed to C to fit the open chord tuning of the instrument. The texture is simple, mostly simple monophonic melody line with the odd open string drone or strummed open string chord for emphasis, when harmonically appropriate. In all but a few instances the music only calls on the player to strike notes on immediately adjacent strings, most often in melodic parallel thirds or a melody over an open drone string. There is none of the counterpoint, moving basslines, or harmonic figuration that is typical of Baroque or Romantic guitar repertoire. These factors along with the popular tunes suggests to me that the music was intended for an amateur audience and intended to be strummed as much as plucked. One could view the tutor as analogous to modern commercial ukulele books full of popular and folk tunes in simple arrangements. The various Moorish tunes are interesting and of particular note. They are all extremely short and simple with a strong pastoral sound of open ringing intervals evocative of hunting horns and reveilles, perhaps intended to conjure the image of the trumpets popularly associated with the military bands of the Ottoman Empire. In light of the above notes on the instrument itself, I have played the selected tunes on a modern steel string acoustic guitar, with a mix of pick and thumb and forefinger as appropriate.

Udajmy się do Szkocji. Do przełomu 18 i 19 wieku. 3 czerwca 1774 roku W Pisley w rodzinie Jamesa Tannahilla, tkacza, urodził się chłopiec. Rodzice dali mu na imię Robert. W tamtych czasach awans społeczny nie był zjawiskiem powszechnym, Robert więc po ukończeniu szkoły, w wieku 12 lat został jak jego ojciec tkaczem, tkaczem jedwabnej gazy. I nie usłyszelibyśmy o Robercie tkaczu, gdyby chłopiec nie zainteresował się poezją. Ale się zainteresował. Został poetą tkaczem – Weaver Poet, tak go dzisiaj nazywają na wyspach. Pozostawił po sobie parę zbiorów wierszy i innych prac. Nie odniósł wielkiego sukcesu, co zresztą doprowadziło go do samobójczej śmierci w wieku 36 lat. I pewnie nie usłyszelibyśmy tu w Polsce o poecie tkaczu Robercie Tannahillu, gdyby nie zainteresował się muzyką. Ale się zainteresował. Spotkał kompozytora Roberta Archibald Smitha, który opatrzył muzyką parę jego tekstów. Do paru innych muzykę skomponował organista John Ross. Do muzyki Robert miał więcej szczęścia, jego piosenki, śpiewane są chętnie do dzisiaj nie tylko w Szkocji. A przynajmniej 3 z nich stały się podstawą do folkowych „evergreenów” znanych na całym świecie. Robert Tannahill napisał „The Soldier's Adieu”, na jej podstawie przed I wojną światową w Nowej Szkocji powstała piosenka „Farewell To Nova Scotia”, na naszym podwórku znana z polskim tekstem Bogdana Kuśki jako „Brzeg Nowej Szkocji”. Melodia piosenki Tannahilla „Thou Bonnie Wood of Craigielea” została zmodyfikowana przez Christine MacPherson i tak powstała melodia słynnej australijskiej „Waltzing Matilda” Banjo Patersona. No i wreszcie Robert Tannahill do spółki z Archibaldem Smithem stworzyli „The Braes of Balquhidher” (znawcy twierdzą że zaadoptowali do niej melodię jeszcze starszej piosenki, ale nie są zgodni której). Poeta nawiązuje w tekście (podobno) do opowieści swojej niani, Mary McIntyre z parafii Balquhither, o tym jak niania i jej matka upiekły bannock (taki chlebek) dla armii Karola Edwarda Stuarta, maszerującego do Culloden. „The Braes of Balquhidher” usłyszał podczas podróży do Szkocji Irlandzki muzyk, znany z gry na uilleann pipe Francis McPeake. Gdy zmarła jego żona napisał na jej cześć tekst i zaadaptował do niego melodię piosenki Tannahilla. Francis nie wierzył, że jest zdolny ponownie się zakochać, swój żal wyraził w 2 zwrotkach piosenki. Legenda głosi, że jego syn również Francis dopisał 3. zwrotkę niosącą nadzieję (która notabene się spełniła). I tak powstała jedna z najpiękniejszych i najsłynniejszych irlandzkich piosenek folkowych „The Wild Mountain Thyme” - dziki górski tymianek, albo po prostu macierzanka. Piosenka śpiewana w momentach, w których chcemy podnieść słuchaczy na duchu, zasiać ziarno nadziei w chwilach smutku. A sam tytułowy tymianek to na wyspach symbol miłości. Młode dziewczyny używały gałązek tymianku aby poznać imię przyszłego ukochanego a damy dworu wyhaftowanym tymiankiem z pszczołą obdarowywały ulubionych rycerz. Audycja zawiera utwory: „The Braes of Balquhidher” w wykonaniu „The Kells”, słowa: Robert Tannahill, muzyka:  Archibald Smiths „The Wild Mountain Thyme” w wykonaniu Liama Clancy, słowa: Francis McPeak I i II, muzyka: Francis McPeake na podstawie „The Braes of Balquhidher” @jarasaseasongi znajdziesz na Facebooku i YouTube

The Labor candidate for the south east of SA right up to the Riverland, Mark Braes, addresses criticisms of Labor's record on putting in mobile phone towers and neighbouring Grey MP Rowan Ramsey's proposal to tie medical graduates and doctors to rural postcodes with their Medicare funding

Fresh off a crack at the South East SA state seat of Mackillop on March 18, Mark Braes says he's 'match fit' for a crack at Liberal incumbent Tony Pasin in the overlapping federal seat of Barker in the 21 May poll. Labor's candidate says Mr Pasin's estimation of 32 gigalitres to exit South Australian irrigation under the 450GL recovery target is a distraction, and SA farmers had given up enough already.

Mark Brae is running for the Federal seat of Barker for the Australian Labor Party. The Millicent local is no stranger to politics, having served as a Councillor and Mayor of Wattle Range Council. The business owner and mediation specialist has worked as a lawyer in a private practice, as a family and workplace mediator in the not-for-profit sector, and as a conciliation officer with the SA Workers Compensation Tribunal.   As part of a series of discussions with Mayo and Barker candidates, Jennie Lenman finds out more.

With the 140th Anniversary of the Battle of the Braes, Jenny and Annie set out to try to understand this crucial fight for land reform in Scotland.  We look back to March 1882, when crofters of the Braes area of Skye tried to petition Lord MacDonald to let them have common grazing on the hill of Ben Lee. Lord MacDonald refuses this request, condemning the future of this crofting community into further poverty.   Standing up for their rights, the crofters protest through a rent strike. This leads to the Battle of the Braes, a violent moment in Scotland's complicated history with land.  We consider how land is at the heart of economic and cultural survival for the Highlands and Islands communities, and why we should never forget the Battle of the Braes.  You can support Stories of Scotland on Patreon! www.patreon.com/storiesofscotland With thanks to Iona Fyfe for recording the song ‘Battle o the Braes.'

Jump ship or do what it takes to save the lives of hundreds of people. Paul Eastman is our storyteller today. He is the lead singer and songwriter for the Celtic Rock band, Coast. He tells the story of Moss Hill, a musician on a cruise ship whose bravery saved the passengers. MTS Oceanos was a cruise ship that sank in 1991. It suffered uncontrolled flooding. Her captain and some of the crew were convicted of negligence for fleeing the ship without helping the passengers, who were rescued thanks to the efforts of the ship's entertainers. But I'll let Coast tell that story... 12:54 - “Oceanos” by Coast from 10.2 You can find out more about the band on their website. They also have music video with footage from the ship as people are rescued and it eventually sinks. And you can watch a documentary about the Oceanos on their blog.

It's all from a live episode of Pub Songs & Stories that was recorded at CONjuration in Atlanta. Loreena McKennit is coming to an episode soon. 19:03 - STORY OF WILD MOUNTAIN THYME "Wild Mountain Thyme", also known as "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?", is a Scottish/Irish folk song. Yes. Scottish AND Irish. The lyrics and melody are based on the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith. They were adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake into "Wild Mountain Thyme". According to Wikipedia, Tannahill's original song was first published in Robert Archibald Smith's Scottish Minstrel. It is about the hills (braes) around Balquhidder near Lochearnhead. Tannahill collected and adapted traditional songs. "The Braes of Balquhither" may have been based on the traditional song "The Braes o' Bowhether". McPeake is said to have dedicated the song to his first wife, but his son wrote an additional verse in order to celebrate his father's remarriage. "Wild Mountain Thyme" was first recorded by McPeake's nephew, also named Francis McPeake, in 1957 for the BBC series As I Roved Out. While Francis McPeake holds the copyright to the song, it is generally believed that rather than writing the song, he arranged an existing travelling folk version and popularised the song as his father's. When interviewed on radio, Francis McPeake said it was based on a song he heard whilst travelling in Scotland, and he rewrote it later. Bob Dylan's recording of the song cited it as traditional, with the arranger unknown, though Dylan's copyright records indicate that the song is sometimes "attributed to" McPeake. In her book Fragrance and Wellbeing: Plant Aromatics and Their Influence on the Psyche, author Jennifer Peace Rhind describes "Wild Mountain Thyme" as essentially a love song, with the line, "Wild Mountain Thyme grows among the Scottish heather" perhaps being an indirect reference to the old custom of young women wearing a sprig of thyme, mint or lavender to attract a suitor. Rhind also notes that, in British folklore, the thyme plant was the fairies' playground and often the herb would be left undisturbed for their use. As for me, I don't remember where I found the song. But it would've been when I started performing at Renaissance festivals or possibly MP3.com. Andrew McKee and I worked our first arrangement for the song in 2000 for the Brobdingnagian Bards album Gullible's Travels. It was later re-recorded with a better version for A Faire to Remember. It stands out largely because of Andrew's recorder solo. It's beautiful. But it's also just a gorgeous song, covered by many people. One of my favorite moments for this song happened on my Celtic Invasion of the Highlands of Scotland in 2013. We were staying in Aviemore, Scotland in the Highlands. I remember walking through the gift shop, when I heard Andrew's unmistakeable recorder playing. My mind nearly exploded as I searched the shop for the origins of the sound. I found a small glass cabinet that had jewelry in it. Gorgeous jewelry made of compressed heather. There were necklaces, earrings, pendants and brooches. It was just fantastic. Then there was like a TARDIS in my brain. It flashed back to an email I had received years earlier. A company asked me if they could use our recording in their shop. So there it was the Brobdingnagian Bards, or rather Andrew McKee, because it was really just the recorder part, on repeat in Scotland. You can check out the company at heathergems.com. In the summer of 2009, I worked out a new arrangement of the song for my CD, The Bridge. That version also inspired a lot of people. It's one of my favorite songs on the album. I love this song, but one of the things that made me so proud about performing this song is hearing my own improvement in singing. It's one of those songs that as I got better, I developed a better ability to phrase things in how it's sung. It makes me feel really good about my own vocal abilities. 24:05 - “Wild Mountain Thyme” by Marc Gunn from The Bridge Pub Songs & Stories was produced by Marc Gunn.

I sit down and talk with Ryan Kreipe who runs Braes Resale Shop in Houston, TX. We talk about the fascinating things that have come through the shop, how you can help the less fortunate, and of course...we geek out a bit :) https://braesresale.com/

The Atlanta Braves scored enough runs offensively each game in the series with the Rays to sweep one of the best teams in the AL yet lost two of three due to more bullpen issues. Dukes & Bell discussed who is to blame for the team's bullpen woes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

St Louis Cardinals vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Pick Prediction 6/18/2021 by Tony T. Cardinals at Braves—MLB free pick is Atlanta Braves -130. Getting the start for St Louis is Carlos Martinez. The righthander has struggled by allowing seventeen runs fifteen earned in his past 11 2/3rd innings. Max Fried counters for the Braes. The lefty has allowed one earned run in five of his past seven starts. St Louis has struggled to score runs held to two runs or fewer in four of five games as this series opened. Cardinals a losing record on the road. Braves bats came alive in the Red Sox series and hitting better than the Cardinals. Play Atlanta -130.

Season 5 Episode 4 Drummond Castle Manuscript Tunes: David Young’s Drummond Castle Manuscript: Athol Braes, Kiss’d Yestereen, New Bigging, The Malt Man, Kick the World Before You William Napier: Braes of Athol Neil Gow & Sons: Oh as I was Kiss’d Yestreen James Rook: Oh as I was Kiss’d Yestreen William Gunn: Oh How I was Kiss’d Yestreen Donald MacDonald: Kick the Rogues Out Elizabeth Ross: You Silly Fool Here is a link to the Gordon Mooney Article on Border/Lowland Pipe Revival I was referencing. https://oddscotland.com/lowland-and-border-pipers-society-history The Art for this episode comes from the Natinol Library of Scotland, by Susan Fletcher Crawford https://www.nationalgalleries.org/art-and-artists/22521/drummond-castle-perthshire David Young Wrote these settings for the Duke of Perth at Drummond Castle in 1734, I have used the copies available from Ross’s Music Page, all the tunes in this episode come from the first of two PDFs on Ross’s Music Page: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/music/index.html The actual PDF download is the below link: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/musicfiles/manuscripts/drummond1.pdf First Tune from David Young is Braes of Atholl Decent information on David Young’s numerous other publications can be found here: https://www.altpibroch.com/y3/ Note that the tune also appears in John Walsh’s Country Dance books both English and Scottish according to Traditional Tune Archive, I could not find it there. It does appear with slight variations in Robert Bremner’s Scots Reels book from 1757: https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105003153 Also according to Traditional Tune Archive it is in William Vickers MS. Braes of Atholl from William Napier’s 1798 collection is quite different and fun for Uilleann Pipes: https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105015671 Bio on William Napier from HMS.Scot: Biographical info: Napier lived c.1740-1812, and died in London. He was a violinist both at Edinburgh's Canongate Theatre, and for Edinburgh Musical Society, before moving to London. (Alburger, 120; Macleod) He played in prestigious bands including the court of George III, and in middle life set up as publisher, later also starting a circulating library. Napier comissioned music from Haydn and was well-connected with other classical composers. (Grove; Baptie) (https://hms.scot/fiddle/source/201/) David Young: New Bigging. The Next Tune I play is New Bigging, likely named for the tune of Newbigging, in Angus. It sounds very familiar, but it also may just remind me of the mystery tune I play before it. Do you know what it is called? The Next tune I play from Drummond Castle is Kiss’d Yestereen. 18teens: Neil Gow & Sons: Oh How I was kiss’d Yestreen in the Second repository of The Dance Music of Scotland: https://imslp.org/wiki/Gow%27sRepositoryoftheDanceMusicofScotland(Gow%2C_Niel) 1840s: James Rook’s Manuscript: Oh How I was Kissed Yestereen: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/musicfiles/rook/rook_pages/033.htm 1848: William Gunn: Oh How I was Kiss’d Yestreen, He calls it a quickstep, so I play it like I would a 6/8 march, then play it as written. https://ceolsean.net/content/Gunn/Gunn_TOC.html David Young: The Malt Man. This tune again also appears in Gow’s Repository and Rook’s Manuscript. 1828: Donald MacDonald’s Setting for Kick the Rogues Out: Can you recognize the funky gracing in the beginning? https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105683188 1812: Elizabeth Ross’s You Silly Fool or "Amedain ghórich" Elizabeth Ross’s Impressive collection from Raasay in 1812. We will certainly be talking about this collection in the future. You can download the impressive PDF here: https://www.ed.ac.uk/files/imports/fileManager/RossMS.pdf 1757: Robert Bremner (I didn’t play this setting but you can look at it here) https://digital.nls.uk/special-collections-of-printed-music/archive/105002691 1734: David Young: Kick the World Before You My First Album is out!

The instrument described within is not what most people today would picture when they hear guitar. Instead of the six stringed Romantic or Spanish guitar - the direct ancestor to today’s classical and steel stringed instruments - the instrument described is what is now known as an English or Scottish guitar. This instrument had six courses of strings, but was a smaller teardrop shaped instrument strung with metal wire and tuned in open tunings. It is the ancestor to and most closely resembles the modern cittern or German waldzither. With its early wire strings and open tunings it was less suited to the more harmonically complex and delicate music played on the gut strung Spanish instrument. Nevertheless, it enjoyed widespread use as an instrument for popular and folk music. The ‘Instructions’ portion of the text is relatively brief. It explains the tuning of the instrument (an open C major chord) and a few rudimentary techniques. Interestingly it describes a simple strumming technique and also suggests an alternating plucking with the thumb and forefinger, a common technique on the lute and other early stringed instruments now known as ‘thumb under’ that approximates the effect of a plectrum. The musical selections themselves are mostly presented in simple settings. The music is provided in staff notation, rather than the tablature more commonly used for stringed instruments of the era. All of the music is transposed to C to fit the open chord tuning of the instrument. The texture is simple, mostly simple monophonic melody line with the odd open string drone or strummed open string chord for emphasis, when harmonically appropriate. In all but a few instances the music only calls on the player to strike notes on immediately adjacent strings, most often in melodic parallel thirds or a melody over an open drone string. There is none of the counterpoint, moving basslines, or harmonic figuration that is typical of Baroque or Romantic guitar repertoire. These factors along with the popular tunes suggests to me that the music was intended for an amateur audience and intended to be strummed as much as plucked. One could view the tutor as analogous to modern commercial ukulele books full of popular and folk tunes in simple arrangements. The various Moorish tunes are interesting and of particular note. They are all extremely short and simple with a strong pastoral sound of open ringing intervals evocative of hunting horns and reveilles, perhaps intended to conjure the image of the trumpets popularly associated with the military bands of the Ottoman Empire. In light of the above notes on the instrument itself, I have played the selected tunes on a modern steel string acoustic guitar, with a mix of pick and thumb and forefinger as appropriate.

I'm struggling to write and revise my first novel, and the music you choose for this podcast always helps me with my work. Thank you and sláinte." Fabio Fiorelli emailed: "Dear Mark,I just listened to your podcast about Celtic groups in Italy. I have been living in the UK for 11 years by now, but Florence is my hometown, and there is a great group from there I used to listen to when I was still living with my parents. They are called Whisky Trail, they play both traditional songs and tradition-inspired new ones, and have been active for over 30 years! One of them is a historian, and he popularized the history of San Frediano, one of the most important patron saints of the city, who turned out to have been Irish (his name was Frigidianus, something related to the fact that he came from a cold country, more info here) and who is well known across Tuscany as well. Unfortunately their website is not well updated, so I don't know if their email is still active, but I know the group definitely is (they have played several concerts in 2019) and I wish to honor their love for irish and celtic music. I will suggest them to contact you, but if you want to do it personally they have an active facebook page with the same name."

Huge thanks to Hamish Napier! Check out his Bandcamp Page! We listened to tracks from The River, and The Woods Album. https://hamishnapier.bandcamp.com/ Open up with a clip of me playing a Pibroch I wrote for Grand Portage on the side of the road in the Cairngorms National Park. Then I play a tune from James Aird’s collection “The Braes of Angus”. Then three glorious tracks from Hamish Napier: From the River: The May Fly Woods: The Tree of Life/Lightning Woods: The Highest Willows And Conclude with my playing “Michael McDonald’s Jig” in Carnasserie Castle in Kilmartin Glen. In the future when the world opens back up I desperately hope I get to revisit our hike in the Cairngorms up to Corrie Fee: https://www.nature.scot/enjoying-outdoors/scotlands-national-nature-reserves/corrie-fee-national-nature-reserve And also spend another night at Rosebank House (not Rose Cottage as I say in the audio) in Blairgowrie: https://www.rosebank-blairgowrie.co.uk/en-US/homepage

The problem is that I am on lockdown due to the COVID-19 virus. Many of you are too. Yet, I had a few emails from Patons of the Podcast especially as well as regular listeners saying, “thank you for bringing some Celtic music joy to a world turned upside down”. I know we have over 450 episodes for you to enjoy while you’re stuck at home. Nevertheless I decided to release this bonus episode of the podcast. And it’s not just a bonus episode. This is another extra-long episode. I compiled it rather quickly. But I hope you enjoy this offering. I’m not gonna talk too much. So thanks to my generous patrons and to each and every one of you. Please wash your hands, stay at home if you can, and be safe.  So let’s get rolling... CELTIC PODCAST NEWS The past month was pretty devastating for Celtic musicians. Our biggest month of the year was effectively canned. We have no idea when we will be able to perform in front of live audiences again. And even when we are able, will audiences come out? Some of us are better off than others. That’s because we have Patreon pages for our music. Just like for the podcast, fans can support some Celtic bands by making a monthly pledge to their music. Sometimes you get some digital goodies for your generosity too. There are about 20 Celtic musicians and bands with Patreon pages. I compiled a list of Celtic musicians on Patreon.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com The band Kinnfolk posted this little online. I asked if I could share it. “Call me cynical, but I've always assumed that the world is moving away from live, local music. Our phones are too distracting; instead of looking out into the world around us, our heads are bowed over our screens, or we're busy trying to snap the perfect photo to be enjoyed later on Instagram. Or even when we are alert and engaged...it's so easy to pull up YouTube and summon a musical performance from any place in the world, any moment in time, any musician we choose. How can a local musician even matter, in a world like this? That's what I thought. Over the past two years, this community has shown me time and time again that local music is not only relevant, but is a profound means of connecting with other human beings. I'm reminded of this every time we see repeat faces in the audience. Every time someone dances. Every time a busy bar goes still. Every time I see tears after a performance of "Danny Boy" or "Kilkelly, Ireland." Every time a child wanders to the stage and watches, fascinated, as we play. I'm reminded that music is not only something we do, but something we give. And so, as always, thank you all. For listening to our music, attending our shows, chatting with us online. Performance is a circle, and our music is meaningful because of these little moments of connection with you.

A player the Storm looked at over the summer months was Cam Braes, several months later Finner has got his man. We also look back on an weekend which left the Storm coach highly displeased before turning our attentions to this weekends games against playoff rivals Glasgow Clan and Fife Flyers. Also joining us giving us a lowdown on former and new teammate Braes is Cam Critchlow!

Gary and Danny make the most of the international Braes  - I mean, break - by enjoying a home victory over Arbroath, mulling over our defensive shift, praising Dorrans and trying to work out what to do with our strikers, before going over our Top 3 worst ever signings (spoiler alert: we ended up just naming loads of people.)

At MAU 2019 in Las Vegas, we set up our Tell All Zone for members of the martech community to give us their confessions. Hear about the biggest mistakes they've made as well as what they learned along the way. Bill Magnuson (CEO and founder of Braze) and Mike Molinet (COO and founder of Branch) give their insight on the need for mistakes and making them a foundation for growth and agility.       TRANSCRIPT: [0:00:18] PJ Bruno: Hi. Welcome to brace for impact. I'm your host, PJ Bruno. This week we brought our mics out to Las Vegas for MAU 2019 at MGM Grand, and we were able to gather some confessions for this weeks episode, when shift hits the fan. When you're running a marketing campaign, it's like having a global megaphone at your fingertips. The power of hitting launch, and communicating with hundreds of thousands of people at once can't be undervalued. However, that power can also be terrifying. One fall step can have far reaching impact on customer engagement and faith in your brand. But making a mistake is a hallmark of what it means to be human. So, the sooner we can embrace the idea that mistakes are a given, this sooner we can perceive them as what they actually are. Opportunities for growth. After all, true innovation isn't possible without taking a risk. The following are a series of confessions from various employees in the Martec community. We've given them a safe space to share some of their blunders and the learnings that came along with them. These are their stories.   [0:01:23] Speaker 1: So, I'm Dante Ledbetter. I'm the senior marketing manager at Fintech company. One experience that is really sort of embarrassing for me was, so I was running a campaign, and you know there's like first name personalization where you can sort of test it and see what it looks like with your name in it. And I accidentally put my fist name in an email and sent that email with my first name to about 3000 people. So, yeah that was pretty horrible.   [0:01:53] PJ Bruno: So, you called 3000 people Dante.   [0:01:55] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, essentially. And My coworker...I actually didn't know about it but my coworker got the email and she was like "hey, Dante" I'm like "what, what?" Luckily...   [0:02:09] Speaker 2: So, my name is Beth. I work in product marketing for a tech company that makes API's. I messed up last year when I sent out a press release before it was officially approved. I had sent it out for a time and a date that we had previously agreed on before there were changes that came down from the powers that be. And so, because I didn't change the time and the date, guess what happened? It went live. Not the end of the world, but I got a little hand slap. Always double check your times and your dates.   [0:02:42] PJ Bruno: Always, right?   [0:02:43] Speaker 2: Always, always always.   [0:02:46] Speaker 3: So, my name's Will Cracker. I run our customer experience team at Braes. To protect the innocent, PJ, I hope you understand I can't use names here, you know?   [0:02:56] PJ Bruno: It's an admirable thing that you're doing, I appreciate it.   [0:02:59] Speaker 3: It's important. A customer decided to send out...have you ever gotten a test notification from internally at store   [0:03:08] PJ Bruno: Sure, with the brackets "test" in big letters?   [0:03:11] Speaker 3: Now, imagine if you were the person in the company that accidentally sent that out to, I don't know, forty or fifty million people all at once. That's one horror story I've seen, where we've had tests go out and push notification to the entire user base of this major media brand. And of course internally we're all like "oh God, this isn't good. Like they're going to be really upset" but low and behold it was really funny because this brand actually came back to us and we were like "we're so sorry, we're so sorry this happened. What can we do?" And they're like "actually it's all good." We're like "what? Why was it all good?" And it turned out it was their best performing campaign of that half of the year because so many people engaged with it because they were like "what the hell's going on? This is weird "Test" from this company? Are you kidding me?" And so many people clicked on it and engaged with the app that it actually worked. The take away from that one is that, you know so many times, so many brands out there are just like so afraid of tweaking their customer experience a little bit, or tweaking their branding or tweaking the way they talk to their customers and that just shows that, especially in a one off basis, you can get away with a lot. You can get away with just really coming out of left field and trying something new and different and really standing out from the crowd matters. Should you use just the word "test" to do it? Probably not, but uh...   [0:04:28] Speaker 4: I'm Maddie. I am an associate communications director at a mobile shopping app. Okay, so it's hard to choose just one over the years, but one that definitely sticks out is a dormancy email campaign that we were sending to people who lapsed after 45 days I believe, and we had a server side bug come up where the campaign started triggering over and over again for our dormant users and the subject line of the email was "First name, did we do something wrong?" And we literally sounded like a psycho ex that was hitting people up over and over again. We sent it to some people I think over a hundred times in a row. So, it was just like "Maddie, did we do something wrong? Maddie, did we do something wrong?"   [0:05:21] PJ Bruno: Did anyone respond "Yes".   [0:05:23] Speaker 4: Yeah   [0:05:24] PJ Bruno: You had a lot of those?   [0:05:25] Speaker 4: Oh like social media, everybody was posting it and they were like "yeah, you are doing something wrong, like leave me alone. We didn't feel like it was appropriate to send more emails to them apologizing to them, but we apologized to the app itself and gave them a little extra bonus in there and said "our bad, we didn't mean to sound so crazy there." It doesn't hurt to put some additional safety guards on your campaigns, so frequency capping for example, you might not thing that it's going to trigger a lot of times within a small period of time, but it happened so, Coding in any liquid and putting on some filters just to allow for some buffering in those situations that you don't necessarily expect is something that we learned from that. So, adding that to more campaigns moving forward.   [0:06:09] Speaker 5: yeah, my name is Donald and I'm a CR Manager for a delivery service app based in Austin Texas called Favor and we had a bit of a fun snafoo in the last 6 months with a little Q/A targeting issue with a push campaign before where there was a campaign that was supposed to be going to people who had received another campaign and the filtering got flipped and it actually went to, was targeting people who did not receive. So, we're talking you know, a 50K audience turned into about a 600K audience. So luckily though the campaign was pretty generic and would have been open to any of our customers regardless, but we definitely lost out on some of the learnings from the campaign that it was supposed to be targeted to on the incrementality side, but it was a good learning on just with all the 10-20 campaigns we're trying to launch in a day, make sure you meticulously look at each on in the filtering for sure before you're hitting launch, so.   [0:07:08] PJ Bruno: Was the engagement decent on it?   [0:07:09] Speaker 6: I'm Adee. I'm an engineer turned sales engineer. So, the first time I was at an event my boss told me that we should probably get some customers to eat dinner with us and it was my first event, first time talking to customers, wasn't an engineer before and I was like coming up to people, talking about my company and asking if they wanted to go out to dinner, and I approached this girl and I said the whole shpeal of this is what we do, if you want to come for dinner and she was like thinking that I'm hitting on her and just ran away.   [0:07:43] PJ Bruno: Jesus. And so what was the big learning moment from that. What was the take away that you   [0:07:49] Speaker 6: not to ask people for dinner.   [0:07:54] PJ Bruno: Do it in email.   [0:07:57] Speaker 7: I'm Cody. I sell software at a fast growing company. I guess the time I had a blunderous mistake, one that really really sticks out to me is y young and early in my sales career, which was I guess just 4 years ago, I was working in consulting prior. Just got in, moved up to San Francisco, got a job, thought I was really ready for this. 2nd day on the job we were tasked with leaving voicemails, you know just giving the pitch. And they've pretty much curated this list of people that were surely not to answer the phone, you can leave, you can you know just run free on this and just, you just give a great pitch. And of course I go in a phone booth, get the call list, first guy I call, I'll never forget, I won't disclose the company but it was the CMO at a pretty important company for I don't know why the were on this list but, ring ring ring, hey this is Tyler, and I just completely froze and I actually thought I saw a ghost and I'm like "uh uh..." click and just hung up and I was so scared man. You told me this guys not gonna answer. And he answered sure enough and it was pretty PRST but my take away from that I think we talked about was 1)in life I just like to grab the bull by the horns I think honestly, I probably would have done a lot better of a job if I'd have tried rather than just hanging the phone up and next always prepare. Be prepared in this life and don't just, even if it's you know, in hind sight I think I could have done a little bit more instead of them telling me what to do, I think I could have don't a little bit of work on my own, and maybe just not hung up like an idiot.   [0:09:39] PJ Bruno: So, do the ramifications of a mistake vary depending on the product? Kevin Wong, VP of product at Braes offered me some of his insights.   [0:09:50] Kevin Wang: I think one of the really interesting things about product is that you tend to release things with a lot more early pre thought going in them, I think than say like any mail newsletter. Like, everyone knows if you're sending out a newsletter, you write this content pretty frequently. Or if you're sending out like a particular promotion, you're probably running a lot of promotions, and so it's bang bang bang and these things are going out fast. Whereas for product, you know we release fast, we build quickly, but there's a lot more pre thought that goes into it. And so what that means though is that when a mistake comes out, if there's an issue, in the court of public opinion, you're just not standing on the same ground that you would have been with that newsletter with the weird typo, where you know, hello--first name because you know that email is a femoral but that product, you got a while to look at this, like everyone kind of knows that in the court of public opinion that you are thinking about it going in. And so, and the other thing is that when the wrong communication goes out, that communication goes out there but, but then its' gone and it's sort of you're already in that mode of it being a little more femoral and it's already in your past once you see it. As opposed to a product where its like that's just sitting at you, you know all buggy not rendering right in front of you, and so I think back to some of the times earlier in my career, no names to protect the innocent, but you know those times when you launch something and everything looks good for a few hours then you get that phone call in the middle of the night and when that phone call comes in, you know you see who it's from and you just know that you're not good enough friends but they want to hang out. You know what's coming before you even pick it up. Before you even look at the text and what could be really fun about a deep product bug or like a deep engineering bug, especially a rare one is that like finding a weird leak in your house or like finding out that you know the sewage system in your house is having a problem where you know what the problem is, you can see the symptoms really obviously, but like what's actually going on, I don't know. Gonna need some gloves and a wrench and we're just gonna have to kind of figure this whole thing out an night, and so it's a different sort of exciting sort of problem and of course it comes with the business, but I think that the main thing that you learn is that each mistake that gets made, I mean something that they say often about senior engineers is that like all senior engineers have seen a lot of stuff and over time I think you just get that osmosis and that wisdom and you sort of become the old grisold lion on savanna that's just seen so much crazy crap happen that you can kind of see around corners.   [0:12:31] PJ Bruno: So, the more mistakes we see, the better equipped we actually are to trouble shoot problems in the future. My high school soccer coach always used to say "you learn a hell of a lot more from losing than you do from winning." I sat down with tech founders, Bill Magnuson of Braze and Mike Molinet of Branch to hear their thoughts on mitigating risk and the merits of error.   [0:12:53] Mike Molinet: As a founder you guys know that things go wrong all the time and that's pretty much what your job is, to fix all those things and catch them. Especially when you're moving really quickly. I'd say one of the most probable ones was in late 2014, early 2015 when we were still relatively new and still ramping up, we had a small team, and we were starting to scale and started to close some big customers, but our infrastructure couldn't really handle them so we were constantly going down, constantly apologizing and then going and putting things back up. I remember one day we were about maybe 10 employees and a large customer went live and it totally took down our entire infrastructure and we were just sitting there, you know 3 people, trying to figure out what the hell to do, how to get this thing back up. We had a guy, and engineer who's still with us, who was interviewing at the time and we had him break out his laptop and help us troubleshoot in the middle of the interview, trying to get the infrastructure back up. We ended up you know, getting through it and I think there's a number of learnings that came out of that. One is things are always gonna go wrong and as long as you move quickly to fix them, that's okay. 2nd, try, you're gonna move fast but try not to hurt your customers too much or take them down with you. But I think the 3rd that really came out of it afterwards was, people are okay and accepting of issues or bugs, or challenges as long as you take ownership over them. As long as you work quickly to fix them and resolve them and are honest and transparent about it and I think that was one of the biggest things that we did, which was we took full ownership over it, we were honest and transparent about it and we apologized and we told them exactly what we were going to do to prevent it in the future and people actually value that a lot, vs. if you try to hide or you try to blame someone else your or don't tell them.   [0:14:37] PJ Bruno: Right. Try to cover it up with something.   [0:14:38] Mike Molinet: Yeah yeah, people do not appreciate that, so it helped definitely rebuild the trust and I think we came out stronger in the end because of it.   [0:14:47] PJ Bruno: Bill what do you think, does that spark any thoughts on the early days?   [0:14:49] Bill Magnuson: Yeah, definitely, you know ours was really a story of starting to the learn the responsibility that you have when you have a really big system operating on the internet. We have a future called connected content and what it allows you to do is, when you're sending out a message at send time, we can reach out to another web service or 3rd party or a partner or something in our customers eco system and pull back content in real time to template into the message. SO we had a customer early on that wanted to use a translation service and they had you know, a pretty complex email that they were building out. They wanted to be able to translate different parts of it based on the you know, hundreds of different combinations of languages and locals. And when our system gets up and running, it sends messages very fast. It's what it was built to do and we actually in the process of sending this campaign, we hit the translation service so quickly that we took it down. And not only did we take down the API, but this poor company hadn't isolate their API's from their own website. SO we actually took their website off the internet. And you know this was a scenario where they also didn't, they thought they were under attack, and so it was like you said the transparency there and taking ownership over it. We reached out to them and told them what happened and we actually went back and modified the campaign but it was an interesting experience for us because we realized that the scale that we were operating at, we needed to be a good citizen on the internet, basically. We couldn't have our customers being able to point kind of the massive machine gun of our system at you know random services and potentially taking them down. And so we actually over time also then developed automatic backups. If we see a service start to slow down while we are using it, we will slow down. If we see a service start to respond with errors, we'll completely stop, take our foot off the gas. We'll alert people and you know its' not the only service we've taken down and we learn every time on how to mitigate that potential in the future, but it was definitely an interesting learning experience for us.   [0:16:50] PJ Bruno: Nice. Had to put up a lot of safe guards after that I bet, right?   [0:16:53] Bill: Absolutely   [0:16:53] PJ Bruno: That's a lot of power you're working with.   [0:16:55] Mike: That reminds me of a time not too long ago where we made an update to one of our link services and for a brief period we found that accidentally in some cases all the traffic when people were clicking on links was re directly to the branch website, which was great for our website traffic for you know, a good 30 minutes, but for our customers who were using   [0:17:14] Bill: Marketing [inaudible] through the roof   [0:17:16] Mike: Yeah exactly. For a specific type of link that redirecting was not so good. So, I think the lesson there learned was it wasn't an engineer that pushed the change, it was somebody else that modified the change and pushed it to get up and we rolled it out into production even though we had tested it, but we had to pull back really quickly. That was pretty fascinating.   [0:17:38] PJ Bruno: So when it comes to, I mean obviously you two, you guys have high expectations of your team and their performance. How do you balance that, like having those high expectations on a performance, but still creating that culture to where it's okay to make mistakes and realizing the merit of risk and stuff.   [0:17:54] Mike: Yeah, I think working in a fast paced start of up like ours you have to be okay taking risks, you have to take risks, you have to make mistakes and I'll tell you that no one makes more mistakes than me and my co founders, we make the most mistakes out of anyone. I think there's a couple things, those 2 things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, they you can really create an environment where you can have strong results and have good high expectations but also have a place where people are okay taking risks. I think there's a couple things that we do. The first is we try to set very clear expectations. So yo can have strong results but strong results really come from what are the expectations and are you meeting them. And by setting very clear expectations and also holding accountability, you can push people to really perform at a very high level, but when people do screw up, in a way you have to celebrate learnings, you have to celebrate the mistakes, you have to celebrate what went wrong. You have to make sure people know it's okay, you have to tell them it's okay. If you do need to correct something, you should do it private. This is something we've gotten a lot better at, not in a public slack channel saying "why the hell did you do this" but rather privately having a discussion and saying "what lead you to this" and also I think asking them how you can help them and trying to trying to actually understand why they made that decision, and telling them in the future, this is how I might think about it and I think that's gone a long way. Because I thin we've read a lot of studies and there's lot of studies about this but basically around the highest performing teams and the most common trait between them and it's psychological safety and having a place where it's okay to make mistakes and people feel psychologically safe, allows them to take risks and to move really quickly and to feel okay about making mistakes because if they don't have that psychological safety, they're never going to and you'll find that you slow down a lot and you no longer are iterating or innovating as quickly as you used to.   [0:19:40] Bill: And I think for us from high level starting point, one of our values is conviction and what that is, or the way that that comes into being is that it's a charge to, our employees that if they find that hey are not able to operate with conviction, that they, you know, raise their hand, they go to their managers, if they need a new skillset if they need new resources, if they need more training if they need better access to data, you know all of these are ways that kind of people get that confidence to be able to operate within uncertainty and a fast growing start up environment, you've got a lot of dynamic conditions, you've got a lot of uncertainty and you know that ability to follow through and execute on something and be able to take action and get it to the finish line, despite all that uncertainty and despite those dynamic conditions, I think is one of the few properties that start ups really have as a strength against established incombants that have much more scale like many more resources and I think when things then go wrong, you know it's important that everyone is able to understand that they were operating in uncertainty, that you know, we don't have perfect information, we can't always predict the future and we need to create an environment where you know we can approach those things and say did the process, you know, lets set aside the outcome, and let's set aside judgements about the outcome. Let's look at the process and the approach, you know, did the person that took the risk, did they do it in a way that was balanced, did they have access to the resources that would have given them a good chance at being successful and really kind of analyzing it from that perspective as opposed to only looking at the outcomes, because I think that you want people to be confident that if they've got the right ingredients in place, if they you know have that certain level of you know conviction or confidence, that they should be able to take an action in an uncertain environment and if the outcome ends up negative, that what we judge is the process and the contributions in the approach.   [0:21:24] PJ Bruno: Any final words to tech founders out there that might be starting off from the road that you guys have come so far?   [0:21:32] Bill: I mean, one of the things that I think about a lot, you know we're around 350 employees, we're approaching that right now. And one of the things that changes quite a bit as you go from the early days you know when you're, you've got a runway that's, you're fast reaching the end of it, you know you don't necessarily know where your next meal is going to come from and you've gotta just survive, is that in the early days, fragility in terms of not having redundancies in place is being really lean, being really efficient is the only option because you're competing against a landscape of other people that are willing to be fragile. But then over time what you need to do is understand when you need to shift from that to becoming and enduring institution and one with durability. And so an interesting, just a simple example is that having multiple people responsible for one thing in and early start up that's only 10 people could be the difference in your cash burn between you making it to the next financing round or not, whereas when you're a few hundred people, only having 1 person doing something is potential risk of the business because you've got too much key person risk there and knowing when you can actually accept those types of risks and knowing when you need to build an environment that is durable to them and making sure that you're making that transition at the right times as your company grows, I think is vital to being able to scale an enduring institution.   [0:22:52] Mike: I think that's spot on. I would definitely agree with that and we're approaching 300 and we're going through that right now. Some other things, I think 1, especially for founders, I think 1 biased for action, just always take action. Don't sit there and analyze things too long. Some momentum even if it's in the wrong direction is actually than not even starting in the first place, and then the 2nd thing to be aware of is you know, we're talking about starting a company that you start as a couple founders and then you grow to a couple hundred employees and what I've found is, as a founder if you, in the beginning you want that, you want to be big. You want to raise money, you want to have a bunch of customers, but really as you go through it, you actually realize a lot of it sucks and I think the most important part is you need to have the psychological, or the mentality oft you need to constantly be reinventing yourself as a founder because as a founder of 4 people or a 4 person company, you're job is very different that when it's at 50 people, which is very different than when you cross 100, which is very different then as you approach 200 and 300 and beyond, and so you not only have to change your responsibilities and what you do, you need to reinvent yourself and your psychology and your mindset and actually figure out what you enjoy doing, right, because in the beginning, I never had to do HR meetings, I never had to do one on ones, I never had to like sit with people. I just like was at my keyboard all day and same thing with Alex, right. He was coding everything. And as the company has grown, he's no longer coding, I'm no longer at my desk anymore. I spend all day in one on ones and with customers. Alex spends all day managing his folks, and so it's a totally different job and I think as a founder you need to be mentally prepared for that, where if you actually are successful, your job is going to be very different 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and years down the road and so just be prepared for that and always reinvent yourself as the company grows.   [0:24:34] Bill: Yeah and I think that at a meta level, as a founder and as a just a leader in general in a dynamic environment, what you need to do is be able to embrace the change for the changes sake as well. You know I think one of the reasons that I love technology and working in technology is that you're constantly solving new problems with new tools. You know you're able to kind of build on the shoulders of giants, like take new innovations, multiply them with your own creativity and drive and really drive toward and impact. And a growing company is exactly the same thing. You are getting new capabilities, new teams, new people, new specializations, new skillsets and you're able to go and solve new problems and it's exciting to be a part of that change. But you need to appreciate that it is in fact constantly changing.   [0:25:17] PJ Bruno: New teams and new tools will always breed new problems.but we can't let that fear of the unknown hinder our momentum or stifle our innovation. We must enter the void headstrong, prepared to reinvent ourselves as new frontiers expand far beyond our view. In a highly competitive landscape with constant advances intact. Playing it safe has become a more dangerous play than taking a chance. Just be sure it's a calculated risk and a documented result. We'll see you next time. [0:25:48]

Thanks so much for all your hard work in creating your awesome show! Cheers" Hank Woodward emailed: "Hi Marc, Just want to pass along another huge thank you for all you do in bringing us wonderful music through the Irish & Celtic Music podcast. Also wanted to relate a great musical experience I got to share with my son Jackson (rising 9th grade violist) about a month ago. We got to see Mithril perform with the local Johnson City (TN) Symphony Orchestra. I got to talk a bit with the fiddler, Tom Morely, and let him know that I first heard their music on the Irish & Celtic Music podcast. The performance was doubly special to us, as three of the performers in the orchestra we know personally through the music school (Suzuki Talent Education of Appalachia), where my son and I take our viola lessons. Thanks again for continuing to bring us all the fantastic music on the Irish & Celtic Music podcast.

Hi there, We're in the middle of Glasgow's fabulous Celtic Connections festival with so much great music going on. This podcast features a sample of what Scotland has to offer with our brilliant music! We start of with a classic track from Deaf Shepherd who are 20 years old this year. We then celebrate Robert Burns with Ye Banks and Braes from the classic Rod Paterson and follow it with Burns' Gala Water sang by Dumfriesshire songstress Emily Smith. We then slow things down with an air from Shetland's Fiddlers' Bid and speed things up again with Lorne MacDougall's Hello World. We finish the podcast with another Scots song from Gordeanna McCulloch. Visit www.footstompin.com for all your Scottish music and culture needs.

Here's our June 10th 2010 Foot Stompin' Free Scottish Music Podcast.  Featuring The Desperate Battle Of The Birds by Breabach, Uam by Julie Fowlis, new release Eclection by Gabe McVarish, another new release The Bothy Top Twenty and another new release Braes of Badentarbat by Ali Beag MacLeod & Kevin Macleod. We finish off with a modern classic - Faultlines by Karine Polwart. Visit www.footstompin.com for all your Scottish music and culture needs.

Here's our Mid January Free Foot Stompin' Scottish Music Podcast. We're starting off with Salsa Celtica who will have the whole of Celtic Connections dancing in the next few weeks, next is Rod Paterson singing Robert Burns's Ye Banks and Braes, then a classic fiddle re-release from Debbie Scott and Peerie Willie Johnson from Shetland. We then move back to Robert Burns and hear Sheena Wellington singing Ae Fond Kiss, then Luke Plumb's A Splendid Notion and finish up with the Battlefield Band's Home is Where the Van Is.

Here's a piping reel (Willie Clancy again) which is possibly a version of "Colonel Frazer".  There's another tune called "The Braes of Busby" which sounds like a version of it too. I'll record the other 2 tunes with reasonably long intervals between them so you don't hear them all together and find out that they really are just the same tune with different names and that I'm running out of things to play.  If that happens I'll have to start singing but I only know one song - a Patsy Clyne number as it happens but copyright restrictions might have me scuppered.
