Thank you for visiting my site. If you have been combing the internet for a Funeral, Wake, or Memorial Service Bagpiper in the Columbus or Central Ohio Area, you have found me.

In the difficult time following the loss of a loved one, finding the right bagpiper is not the easiest thing to do. The bagpipes can offer solace to the soul and a comfort to grieving hearts like no other instrument can. It allows the healing process to begin by touching and releasing those deepest of emotions, beyond words, that only music can communicate. That being said, I would consider it a great privelage and honor to be there for you and your family. Feel free to examine the photographs and music files you will find in my Gallery and Music pages.

The Great Highland Bagpipes

Remember the first time you heard them? I'm sure you do. You may have heard them echoing off city walls on Saint Patrick's Day, parading past in a sea of multicolored tartans. Perhaps it was a wedding, or the funeral of a close friend, and you have never forgotten those haunting melodies played on ancient mystical instruments.

My purpose here is to keep that bagpiping tradition alive, while serving Central Ohio and surrounding Communities. Whatever the reason you find yourself at my webpage, I look forward to being your personal Scottish Highland Bagpiper.

A wee bit 'bout me...

I began playing music professionally in 1963. It has taken me from the heartland of Ohio to the California Coast and back again. In that time I have played a lot of music on a myriad of instruments, but no instrument has had as strong an impact on my life as the Great Highland Bagpipes. There is a spiritual side to playing the bagpipes that drives me to continue playing them,(even though at times it seems that they are playing me.)

When I stand on a hill, playing the bagpipes with the wind to my face, it is as though my ancestors are right there with me, nudging me, inspiring me to push further, to play more, and to be the best bagpiper I can be. Suffice it to say, I will be a bagpiper until the day I am put in the ground and another piper ultimately pipes me home.
