Pipers & Drummers - Check in!

[Blupiper]

I am "free range," like Piper above. No band affiliation--have been told I don't play well with others. I started about ten years ago, at the age of 48 after a lifetime of playing brass and woodwinds. Should have started the pipes years (decades?) earlier. I currently play for myself in practice, sometimes for weddings, funerals and church and in a handful of Highland Games each summer. My pipes are 2010 Athertons with the MacDougall bores. I enjoy playing piobaireachds, 6/8 marches and I admire the play of anyone who plays better than I do. Here's me with my pipes (at a picnic):
