Piper down - Jazz piper Rufus Harly passes

[pdcorlis]

I heard the news on the radio - I had no idea he was 70 years old. A moment of silence for a true original.

I met him, once. I took this picture of him at the Tartan Day parade in NYC a few years back. Didn't know who he was, at the time. He had the funniest "kilt" outfit I ever saw, and he played left-handed.



RIP, Rufus.

[Jimmy the Celt]

I've never heard of him. does he have any records out? I would love to hear his music.

Surely there is a band of pipers in heaven.

I'm sure after the few hundred years that bagpipes have been around, there is quote a rabble o' pipers a'whalin away up there!

A true Philadelphia original, he will be missed.
