I did sound for him and the rest of Windbags when they came to Shepherdstown in Feb 98. He saw me wince when they came in playing the bombard and great pipes, and when I pulled the earphones off, and told him it was "like miking smoke detectors", he got a great laugh. We tried to have them back several times, but couldn't make their gate, after they took off. My condolences to the family.
