And speaking of piping. . . .


I did my annual gig playing for the inaugural session of the American Lawn Bowls Association’s National Open last Friday. Why does it remind me of piping competitions? There must be something about the atmosphere – the “feel” – of the competition environment that is the same everywhere.

And then Saturday, a few tunes for a young man who died of cancer. Young is relative to a degree. And as he was younger than I, I say young without qualification. God rest his soul.
