The guid pipers are aw' deid, an I'm no feeling too well masel.


I had the pipes out for an airing today. I did a wedding in Orange County and they were sounding mighty. I only played at the end and the tuning held almost perfectly from 11:45 when I tuned to about 1:15 when I played for the recessional. Selbie drone reeds and a Shepherd chanter reed. I ducked out at communion time for a quick tune and almost nothing was needed. Couldn't be happier with the way they were sounding.

But when did it become the done thing to have the bride and groom gather 'round the altar as if they were concelebrants? Is that new? Or have I just not been paying attention? Again.
