Terry is calling it his "New Year's Miracle." He has been taking bag pipe lessons. Learning to play has been a life long goal and he was excited to finally find a teacher. He acquired a "chanter" ( a recorder sized pipe) to play and practice on for his lessons and started to search for his dream bag pipes. After quite extensive research, Terry found the perfect pipes of his dreams. Unfortunately, to buy them would be very expensive and would take at least 9 months to order. Feeling very discouraged, he started searching for used pipes to use until the dream pipes could be constructed. Every time he found any used pipes on the Internet they would be sold before he could call. On New Years Eve, he found his dream pipes and they were available and he has them. Hooray! Debbie and Chris aren't cheering quite as loud. The pipes sound great but they are LOUD!!!!!!

CONGRATS Terry! and LUCKY YOU Debbie and Chris! Can't wait for Terry to learn the Sword Dance music -- I just might have to put on my kilt and find my sword and dance away! HEEHEE! (Just kidding!)

Way to go, Terry! I can now say I know someone who plays the bagpipes. Kudos, also, to Deb and Chris, for their support.
