I agree with the suggestion to have the picture restored, especially if the restorers could take that scratch off the face.


This is going to sound nit-picky, but I don't think your grandfather is actually playing the 'pipes in the picture. It looks more like he's just holding them for the shot. I bet someone told him, "Those things are too loud to play in here. Just hold 'em and keep 'em quiet."
That's what they tell me, anyway.
