    I'm impressed with the tri-color flashes with the saffron kilt.

    Well, and I'm most impressed with anyone who can play the pipes.

    I noticed those flashes too. Cool!

    Great pics, Bill. I like how the Brazil restaurant recognized the day in such a visible way.

    Band issued... but I believe that we are changing suppliers ... I will find out and let you all know.


    Thanks for the kind words.. playing pipes has been such an amazing journey for me so far. Never have I worked so hard to learn something, and never has anything ever paid off as well in terms of personal accomplishment.

    I'm pretty sure that L&M makes Tri-colored flashes. We don't normally stock them, but we do order from L&M, so if anyone is interested just contact me and I'll find out how much they are and put in a request with our next sporran order.
