Hi Keith,
Yup, I know that joke about the pipers. I have friends who are pipers. I
am a trumpet player. I enjoy many types of music, but my favorite is big
band music from the 20's 30's and 40's. I play lead trumpet in a 16
piece big band. We are all retired and we play in retirement homes,
nursing homes, senior centers, etc. We played 41 times last year. We
play a one hour show and, on occasion, a two hour show.
I have a nephew and his wife who are both pipers. I have a picture,
taken from behind two of my grandchildren who are sitting and listening
to them play the pipes, with both hands over their ears. It is a
classic. I show it to my piper friends often.
There is nothing better to me than ballet without the dancing and opera
without the singing.
73,
Dave
