Great article and video! Thanks, Steve, for bringing it to XMTS. Richard, it was nice to find out more about the fellow I've come to like and respect on XMTS.

Richard, really nice article. Sorry I jumped in so late in the thread. I remember when you moved to Pomona, I thought your playing was pretty tight, and you'd only been playing a short time. Its good to see someone do well with something they injoy.

So nice to hear from you Dave!

Dave and I met when I moved from the desert (literally, with sand dunes) to Pomona (on the Eastern fringe of Los Angeles County) at the age of 19, in 1976.

We would don our kilts and play pipes & drum and give talks about Scottish history for local school kids and such.

Most of our dress was homemade. My grandmother made my kilt. I had found Cameron of Erracht tartan wool at an ordinary fabric shop back in West Virginia, and Dave and I both had kilts made from it.

I made a tweed Day jacket and and Full Dress tunic by converting ordinary suit coats bought at thrift shops.
