Boyd...instructions for posting pictures are on prvious page.

Paul...If you're out standing (as opposed to outstanding) in the field, that should be encouragement for Travisnrha--who posted "standing with pipes." The pic is certainly outstanding!! (almost poster quality)

Janice...do you see a younger Phil Collins in Paul?

Christian...nice set of Rogge pipes (want to trade? just kidding). I've seen that pic before somewhere. Is that the W. Kennedy Festival? Looks like Brian's artwork in the background?

This is me, looking formal, with my Froment full set. I was trying to get one of those 'old style' piper photographs, but only ended up looking like a miserable git :wink:

Tony, darn it, you have too many!! But I guess I asked for that. There may be a drawback though, when you think of all the reeds there, and all the reed problems(?)

Very soon I will post a pic of my Williams boxwood chanter... just a simple practice set. But I have to get a digital camera now.

Thanks Tony, I will keep trying till I get it!!!!

Have now tried all of the above, but the picture does not want to show. Maybe it is a quirk with MSN or something!!

The URL does seem to work though!
