"I have Scottish ancestry, but I'm not from Scotland. There's no connection in that way. I felt compelled to learn about 25 years ago when I met a guy who was in the Canadian Army in World War II. Bagpipe was his passion, and he taught me how to play."
"I was kind of like the Scottish beacon. People could hear bagpipes and knew, Okay, that's the way to the event. Curious kids and people walking came up and said 'Thank you.' Some people shoved a few bucks in my pocket."
"Occasionally, I play a paid gig, but typically it's me doing it just because I love it. My day job is at a pharmaceutical company."
"I bought three tickets. They were raffling off a big bottle of Scotch, but my ticket came up for a purse. I guess my daughter will get that."
