I just heard from a chap who I made a couple of reeds for about 3 months ago, he just mailed me that the reeds had been stolen, but not the pipes!!! Odd as a bottle of chips, what!!

Pat,

Oddly enough, milk comes in bags in Hungary.

I'm sorry, I have to do this....

That's udderly ridiculous.

It comes in bags in Canada too... or at least in British Columbia. Four one litre bags in one big bag.

Alan, that has to be the subtlest commercial post I ever came across!

Just kidding.

Anyone want to buy some newly made reeds?

Virgil, don't milk it.

Not everyone knows this, but reeds can make excellent roach clips.

That's the risk any piper takes who's playing AlanB reeds. It might be a good idea to put an AB on a bunch of old duffer reeds you don't care about and write "loser" on the good ones.

Actually, the guy probably just made that up, testing you, to see if you'd give him a couple replacements...

(First, excuse my poor English)

Yesss... it's not a Joke

Someone stole my 2 Reeds one week ago...

Happily, my pipe is safe!!!
But at the end of february I'll record my first CD!

First, I thought it was a joke... so I wait for 3 days in silence, and then I told to my music band I won't be able to play with them without a reed and it was the time to return them to me!
My reeds have been stolen in a place where there are 300 "rehearsal (/training) rooms" so it's difficult to suspect somebody (there are more than 1000 musicians)...
My main reeds has been stolen in the chanter and second one in my U-P case!

Motive: Jealousy?
(we had just obtained a big contract with a famous beer company and we were preparing our first CD)

Now, I have fews days to find someone to make reeds for me...

(excuse my english again)
