well, we are moved.....to Louisiana

After a decade of family debate, two months of packing and a taste of hell in the process, several long drives and major expense we have relocated our home and business from Iron River, Michigan to Ponchatoula/Hammond, Louisiana. One reason we did this was to put the business where there were numbers of people, another was to finally get out of the snow......but the real reason, not shared with family was to go where my reeds are always humidified with no messing about. So, if any of you happen to be in the New Orleans area and North shore, drop me a line and we can get together.

aye, islandpiper

Welcome to the land of perma-humidity...although I live in Central Florida, a wee bit further south...we share this reed friendly weather off the Gulf of Mexico. I am originally out of Duluth Minnesota by way of the Twin Cities, so I can understand where you are coming from...literally.

Welcome to the heat and humidity, I live in the Macon Georgia area and the pipes are quite happy here and fairly stable. Being over in Narlin's area now affords you the chance to come to the Florida Tionol run by John Maze and Katherine Cavanaough. They have done a wonderful job over the past couple of years and this coming year (2005) should be even better.
There is also the Irish festival/tional over in Mississippi so a hardy

Most folks have the wrong impression about the South. Some of us do have family trees WITH BRANCHES. Ya'll might get that tomorrow.

And another common mistake is about GRITS. A lot of folks hate em', I lov'em , btw GRITS is an acronym for Girls Raised In The South.

I thought it was common knowledge that the crackers live in Georgia, not Louisiana!
