Re: Big pipes party in North Carolina

There are also a few rooms still available at the Inn. So you're not forced to sleep in the stable :)

Re: help new piper

The closest piper to you I believe is Mike Hay in Augusta. I sent you his email in a PM. I'll be in Savannah on the weekend of Feb 4-5 (actually Tybee Island), but will likely go to the session in Savannah on Sunday. I'm trying to get down there about once a month or so. I'd be happy to help you wit...
