Re: "Scottish" DNA results for native-born Scots
For all the ambiguity of genes, my Ancestry DNA test came back about as spot-on as could be expected . . . clearly Irish, German, Italian—all relatively recent immigrants (19th & 20th century)—plus...

Re: Alt Pibroch Club?

Re: Need help getting a seal
Another vote for giving the Reed Wrangler Ergonomic Mouthpiece a try. I love mine, it really helps keep a proper seal.

Re: Fondly remembered gigs?
My instructor called me to take a gig he couldn't take. It was a funeral arranged by local family he knew. The funeral turned out to be for a man whom had arranged a trip to Ireland years before that...
