A Very Nice Thing Happened to Me the Other Day!

[Blupiper]

As another late in life beginner on the pipes, I would say I fall in the great middle of the Grade IV pipers (maybe upper, toward Grade III on better days.) Compliments from unexpected quarters are always welcome and lead to some of the best conversations and meetings. I have worked funerals, birthdays, weddings and church services and people are always polite and appreciative. The pipes are hard and everyone who plays likes to be well received. People always have questions. My favorite (because I spend so much time on tuning) is: "you can tune those?" When everything is right, there's nothing like it; for me playing or for the audience.
