    **grumble**....I haven't touched a woodwind instrument in six months. I gotta start practicing, myself.

    I have always liked that tartan.

    Four of our seven children play. They keep trying to get me to pick up a set of sticks again. It's been thirty years since I played. I tell them I can't remember which end of the stick to use (the 27 year old says "Doesn't mater, just pick them up.") I might surprise them this year.

    Derek, would you and your group put something on You Tube for those of us half way around the world to have a listen?

    I wish I could play an instrument but I can "only" listen.

    Me too - in spite of my parents paying heavily for me to have private lessons as a child!

    Beautiful kilt, Derek. I love it.

    Take care,

    Lovely kilt Derek. Are you trying to catch up to Hamish?

    BTW - Are there any more CD's in the works? I still adore listening to "Shine On"

    Have fun with the gigs.

    A photo isn't always convincing. You could be just posing with the guitar and not really practicing.
