Ok, so I spoke with Wayne Moug last night at NCR (Ottawa) RCMP pipe band rehearsal and he asked if I would be willing to play at the next Halifax pipers club on the 13th of March 2010. I'm going to be there for a workshop that week anyway, so I guess I'm playing.
Not that I'm certain anyone wants to listen to 50 year old hands play my material; I advised Wayne it will be my own compositions I'd be playing, so if it sounds dodgy I can blame the composer.... (hey that would be me)
Anyway, it's an honour to be asked. I wonder if there has been any coercion going on here..... hummmm. Those sneaky Haligonians....
A great time to reveal the Celtic Knot medley. Now - the war horn, shuttle or small pipes....?????

DUNBAR SMALL PIPES
crazy fun, but massively unstable and pitchy

Thunder Bay Police Pipe Band at Grand Marais Minnesota
I started this band in 1984 and served as its PM for 20 years. We went from novice players to competing in three years and winning in four. At our peak we played grade two, and in 1992 placed 17th at the worlds, with a 4th for dress and deportment - not bad for little old T Bay. Grand Marais is just south of T Bay and we are treated like gold there.

helping out
this meant a lot to me... HMPB members are appreciative and open and honest. To rise from street parade band to a contender in one season was remarkable... And the hard work paid off.
