- Glad you like the site, Ken. At first I thought my brother would invite all his piper pals, but he was too busy, and I thought no one would use this site. I'm glad to see that people are starting to use it. I called my brother and told him to try it out again, and I've also made a few improvements to the design. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

- Can't say enough about a good friend, hard worker and always there for you when you need him and he plays the pipes exceedingly well. He's a task master when it comes to 'brils', leumluaths and toarluaths. There a great pic out there with him standing with a women approach a 100 years of age and she tried to lift his kilt (off camera you understand) but funny none the less. Didn't know he could jump that high.....lol
