On NAAPD, 2017
We love our time at the North American Academy of Piping and Drumming in Valle Crucis, NC. Sandy Jones is a very special man, his entire family is.

Mom almost on pipes

I think I had these to memorized fairly well already, so I started to work on Brown Haired Maiden, Minstrel Boy and Scotland the Brave. Hopefully next week I’ll have pipes to blow into!
