He's a good solid piper.

"Scotland the Brave" is a standard Level 1 band tune, but he plays it well. His grace notes are clear and his tone is steady.

High marks from this old member of the Atlanta Pipe Band.

I know of the Atlanta Pipe Band. I was listening to a UT Vols football game on radio many years ago and part of the halftime performance was the APB playing Amazing Grace and then the Pride of the Southland Band joining in on the second verse. You could tell by the sound of our radio announcers’ voice (John Ward) that he thoroughly enjoyed it. It did send chills.

As it turns out, I started lessons earlier this year with an instructor from the Knoxville Pipes and Drums. I’m usually a stringed instrument and keyboard player so it is definitely a change from what I’m used to, but its interesting.

Whenever Jerrold Waddler starts grilling AG Barr, the latter should whip out the pipes and just skirl away.
