I couldn't find this earlier, but but I think this is what solidified my sons desire. Even as a wee boy he liked the pipes and was fascinated by the bands he would see at highland events I took him to. At the local games when he was five he told me he wanted to learn to play. That day he also saw the pipe band that practices at our church so I told him he should tell the Pipe Major how much enjoyed listening to them and that he wanted to learn.

Well that is when they told him about becoming a drummer and then learning the pipes. Andrew thought that was a great idea. Then the Pipe Major asked my son if he wanted to march with them on their next set. Well not the shy one he said yes and spent the next hour an a half asking me what time it was every two minutes. When the time came he did march very proudly especially when he realised that everyone with a camera was taking his picture.



Yes he is the little guy with the very serious look on his face.
