Hello Everyone,

I just uploaded a new page listing all those who have earned the Piobaireachd
Society Gold Medal
(Canada) for the last three decades.
http://www.bagpipejourney.com/articles/results/gold-medal-canada-results.shtml

Major Archie Cairns, who helped start the event back in the early 1970s,
provided the list to me
today. (Someone e-mailed me asking for the list only this morning, Archie did
fast work!) I
edited up an introduction which may change over the course of the next week, but
at least it's
up.

As for me, I'm still not back on the pipes yet. Frustrating. I'm still
experiencing uncomfortable
sensations in my hands though it's somewhat better than months ago. A few
minutes of practice
chanter semi-regularly is my limit, though I bring out the pipes every few
months for a run-
through regardless. A neurologist did a nerve conduction test on me a few months
back and said
it didn't qualify as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, so that was good news. I'm off to
the doctor
tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.

I'm still heavily involved in the piping community, I just ran a solo piping
competition on
Saturday. I'm still WUSPBA Webmaster and am on the moderator team at
BobDunsire.com---at
least I get some piping "fix"!

I have a few new pages that I am still working on, hopefully I'll finish up one
or two in the not
too distant future.

Andrew
