holiday gig

<< I think you should pen lyrics for just such a tune... >>

I'm no good at lyrics, or singing for that matter - that's why I pipe.

Might be able to compose a pipe tune though.

Late yesterday morning I piped for a family's Christmas gathering. After sub-freezing cold early this week, the temperature was in the upper 40's and very much welcomed. The sun was bright and skies clear.

It was what locally we call a 'gated community' and the homes are constructed on minimally sized lots. Upper class accomodations.

It didn't take long until most of the neighborhood arrived at my benefactor's doorstep. They kept me about 25 min, handed me an envelope with a handsome tip, which was above & beyond my holiday rates.

And to make matters better, I was entrusted with a liter of 15 yr old Glenlivet.

A piper's life for me.

Slainte yall,
steve

Life does have its moments. It is just that a Piper's life has more of them!
