A whopping congratulations to my friend, Steven McWhirter, on his 10th World Solo Pipe Band Drumming Championship win today. He’s been my incredibly gifted teacher for the past 2 1/2 years and side-by-side on the project to produce the books for the piping community. A shout out to Gracie McWhirter. In all the years when I’ve been present when Steven’s been asked how he manages to do what he does, his first response is always, ‘having an incredible wife’. That’s you!

And congratulations too, to Cam Lawson who won the under 18 championship today. I’ve travelled a side by side drumming road with Cam for 6 years now. From the Australian summer school in 2014 to Scotland this year. Smile big buddy you deserved this! See you in 2020. ... See more
