Tell us something.: Having taken time out from the pipes etc to focus on trumpet for 12 years.
During that time, I suffered a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage and so, after rebuilding myself and coming to terms with my limitations, I'm now slowly getting back into my whistles and maybe pipes next year.

Hi All

Post by Satchmo »

Well, after leaving behind my pipes etc some 12 years ago for personal reasons and to concentrate on my trumpet having been commissioned to form a swing band, I've taken up my whistles again and will hopefully be getting back into the pipes in the New Year (will need to order a new set).
Since 2006, I suffered a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage and survived!!! But I have slowly rebuilt myself although I no longer work apart from voluntary work with CAP.
So, here I am again, I can't remember my old username and have set up a new account, although having a quick look through, I do remember some of the names on here like djm, Rorybbellows, BuskerSean (Sean, I think we met once or twice) billh (I think you may have bought my Andy Faden set???) and others but hey I've got an excuse for a bad memory now, and not just because of my age :lol: .
So a big hello to you all and I look forward to my visits to this site and keeping up to date with things.

Yours Mark W

Well, the VERY best of luck to you, and when you have a chanter again: Report! Your progress.

Again; Good Luck, and enjoy.

Hi Sean
I'm still in New Mills in the Peak District. I have a vague memory of you coming here one day, is that so?
How is life in Devon then?
