Biographical

Bio

I first learned the pipes in '98 and played with the City of Tulsa Pipes and Drums. Personal circumstances forced me to leave all that. I'm afraid I wasn't very; good.

A chance comment by Phil Smillie of the Tannahill Weavers encouraged me to start learning the practice chanter (I also have a Hardie goose).

My career goal is to play the Scottish Smallpipes.

At the moment, I'm trying to unlearn bad habits (mostly a tight grip).
