Hi Bill.

Found this site of yours by chance when looking for inspiration and found it.

Thank you so much.

I started to learn the Pipes; after a tour in the Fleet Air Arm RN; and whilst doing my resettlement training as a Psychiatric Nurse at 'Jimmies' St James Hosp Leeds.

We practices in the morgue at night, no one to upset!
I got as far as Brown Haired Maiden then my wife died of breast cancer!

Thus a student nurse, no living relatives, and two kids!

However, I returned at the age of 58, two years ago.

I consumed three Pipe Bands in 1.5 years. I am now 60.4 ish!

I found all three ageist and really only interested in themselves, and there personal advancement. But I enjoyed the social aspect, and taught myself.

I now do nurse psychotherapy via the internet, and so have much faith in remote teaching.

Banjo Breakdown was a 'bench mark' target for me.

I found thus your site, played your demonstration and my wife said "Well done, the first part sounded like it could have been you me on a good day!"

I can't thank you enough for that! I want to be the first 90 year old gold medallist.

People like yourself make it possible for people like me to have hope and ambition!!!

Once again thanks.
