MacHummel,
My tutor believes that using the smallpipes as a step toward the GHB is the way I should go. I am an old man and am not in the greatest physical condition. I get winded easily at the present. The smallpipes will give me the chance to build up the stamina to tackle the GHB. 10 minutes today, fifteen tomorrow, etc. I hope that it works out that way.
