I wear kilts of three different patterns two are to honour my grandfather and fathers military service and one my surname. I am a life member of the Cameron Highlanders Association in Canada. My most memorable pipe was November 11,2018 Flowers of the Forest (long version) having had a grandfather who served in WW1. Thank you for the opportunity of belonging to your forum.

and happy times and piping to you

Welcome from the English midlands.
Persevere with the playing - it may be that your fingers are out of practice!

Thank you to those of you who have stopped by to welcome me here. I am enjoying the comments and the variety of geographical locations....

I had to go look up where Mount Brydges was - didn't realize it was so close to London, ON! IIRC, there are several people on this forum over by the Toronto area, and I think at least one or two that are somewhere in the general vicinity of London (don't remember exactly where, but I remember seeing them and thinking "that's not too far away!"). I'm sure you'll bump into some of them on here eventually.
