    No, but our pipe major imports and sells pipes and piping supplies as a business, so many of us have bought our pipes from him (he gives us a really good deal). Consequently, many of us have very similar pipes. The band has matching chanters, of course, that the band owns.

    Oooh, I wish. But, sadly, no. We just played really well. And that's worth a smile.

    Notice how Barb color coordinates her Pipe Bag Cover and her glasses.

    Only she would be such a perfectionist.
