    PM John D. Burgess

    I'm not sure if the link to this site has been posted here yet. A quick search has failed me, but that's not surprising...

    Anyway, it appears the family of the great piper (and dresser!) and have created a website complete with photo galleries:

    Enjoy

    Cheers!

    Oh,

    and for those, like myself, that have had trouble finding recordings of his playing, there are also a few tracks to be found on Spotify!

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the link, I have always admired his sense of personal style in Highland dress. Will have to look through the photo galleries.

    Re: PM John D. Burgess

    Yes, this website has been posted and referred to already on the forum. I believe someone had posted it in the thread I started in regards to P/M Burgess many months ago.

    An absolute fantastic piper, as well as a superb gent who knew how to wear 'The Garb of the Old Gaul.'

    Cheers,

    Sorry about the double post Kyle. I did think it sounded familiar but my (quick) search didn't bring it up.

    Never mind I guess- can't hurt to see pics again ;)

    Cheers!

    No, no mate I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be snobbish or arrogant in any way. All is well, no worries! Thanks for posting it again for all to see - I'm happy to peruse the website again!

    Cheers mate!

    P/M Burgess's daughter is a member here, although I haven't seen anything posted by her in a while. She posted once that her brother is responsible for putting together that website. Thanks to both of them.

    Yes, you are correct. I recall her chiming in on a thread a while back. I have spoken with her brother on Facebook.

    Michael, thanks for that link. I must have missed it the first go 'round. The pictures are great! I'll be spending some time on that site.
