Re: Daye pipes

Lots of folks eventually seem to gravitate to lower-keyed flat chanters because they so...

Re: Big Oil Hates Pipers

Re: Volcanic Ash
It could be a problem if you were piping at 20,000 feet. But not all flights are affected by the ash cloud, my mother in-law flew over to see us when all other flights had been cancelled .

Yup, great weekend, nice tug boat.
