It's 6:35 AM as I read this so no scotch for me right now. However, tonight I will raise a glass of Lagavulin to Craig.

Just a thought, but since we have many pipers who are members here, perhaps they could all, play a piece at the same hour on the day that Red is laid to rest. Perhaps Highland Cathedra, Amazing Grace l or some other such piece. It could be at the time of the funeral, or maybe at some other designated time. I'm not a piper, but I would join in if I were. If this were to be done, I would find the tune online and listen to it at the designated hour. If everyone were to do this, we could have a thousand or more pipe tunes going all over the world as a tribute to Red.

That gives me a thought- what about a worldwide X Marks kilt night, with web cams and wifi, with these pipers? That way we can all more or less be together.
