    ok not to squeeze my own bagpipe or anything

    http://www.maranaweeklynews.com/V2_n...id=788&page=72

    I just found this article from a local paper from a few weeks ago.

    I played a memorial service for the Marines killed inan osprey accident here in town.

    I did it as a favor for a Work friend who organized it. and they want me back next year for the same.

    on a side note...i have two weeks left in Fire Academy, and will graduate on May 16th. I plan on having a little party afterwards to celebrate. and will post a time and place when I figure out the when and where.

    more than likely it will be the Auld Dubliner....but we'll see

    Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!


    By the by, I had never heard the phrase:

    "not to squeeze my own bagpipe or anything"

    Brilliant!

    Cheers

    wel i thought about saying " not to toot my own horn" but I figured I play the pipes...not a horn and it seemed appropriate !!

    thanks for the congrats!! its been a long 8 weeks and I havent had much time for anything but studying and sleep (which is why I havent been on here very often)

    they are thinking abuot letting me play our academy into the ceremony ( AND wear a kilt too!)

    here's hoping ....if they do I'll be sure to post pics !!
