    Thanks for posting that, it is an interesting read. It's nice to learn a bit more about how you came to learn about your roots and get into the bagpipes. I'm sure that the article will generate some interest.

    There's a photo in the printed newspaper. The website didn't post it. But they used this photo:

    Congratulations, that was a really a great article. Well done! Did I read it correctly though? You only took up the chanter last SPRING? That IS impressive! When I read your posts about what you've been doing I assumed that you had been playing for much longer.
