Me too, Gregory, but you come from a musical family, which must help. I had one-to-one piping lessons (many years ago) but gave up after about six months because I could not get to grips with reading music!! Whilst I was growing up the only music I heard came from the radio or 78rpm records!!

Well done!

Well done Gregory! You've done us proud!

Ham, how very modern of you, I expected you to recall a gramaphone cylinder

(Panache is so dead! )

When I started pipes, I looked at them as just another instrument (right now, I play trombone, violin (poorly), guitar, bass, penny whistle, bodhran, dulcimer, harmonica, and mandolin). In other news: I just ordered a set of Uilleann pipes!!!

And you all thought kilts were addicting....

I'm still waiting for my piping course materials which are in sotck but have been held up because they have been linked in with other items such as a kilt.

I have emailed the supplier and asked them to send the piping stuff now so I can get started!

I want to be in my local paper too!

I too took up the pipes when I was a boy, only to give up on them a little while later due to the difficulty I was experiencing. Perhaps I was to quick giving them up, but this article gives me hope maybe one day I will try them again.
