Gaita galega

Gaita galega in D major; Name in Marcuse and Podnos incorrectly spelt "Gaita grilera" [probably with the dubious intention of using the Castilian term, which would, however, be "grillera"; ws]; NB¹: I was told by Galician friends that a "grileira" is a house-cricket; NB²: ➺ homonyms (Gaitas), and homonyms, &c.
