Thanks Beer - I lived in Cambridge, Ont. once, so maybe I will take a trip down memory lane and improve ye old piping skills at the same time - Cambridge is a nice old milltown that's bears a striking resemblance to Inverness - and wasn't there a custom pipe maker based near Cambridge a few years back?

Come out to California and attend my school - "A Week in Paradise" - I bring Murray Henderson over and it is a week of instruction - from 8 - 5 every day from myself and Murray on every topic - Piobaireachd, MSR playing, reed manipulation - chanter reeds and drone reeds, how to compete, how to perform - you name it, we cover it.
Oh and the weather is always perfect.
Best.

The MidWest School of Piping and Drumming is THE place to be June 8-12th, 2009. Held on the historic campus at St. John's Northwestern Military Academy, located in the quaint City of Delafield, Wisconsin...our senior staff is:

Ken Eller, Ron Bowen, Bruce Gandy, Doug MacRae and Lyric Todkill, John Fisher, Tyler Fry and Tano Martone

We promise a week of outstanding classroom instruction, private lessons, a lecture series, a student only solo competition, a recording studio for our students, a massed band parade through town to a local establishment for Pub Night (an open ceilidh with the instructors) and a formal recital in the historic chapel.

The campus has a nine hole golf course, basketball, tennis courts and game room. Across the street is a lake for fishing or boating. The town has a number of restaurants and plenty of shopping. There is a State Park less than two miles away and the State of Wisconsin Bike Trail goes through town.

Our registration takes place the day after the Milwaukee Highland Games...so you could arrive early and partake in the festivities there while you're here! Hotel lodging is available close to the Games or to the School...whichever you prefer.

We are very excited to present this format and really look forward to meeting you this summer! Actually...we're very excited to meet all of you!! We welcome you to Wisconsin as part of your musical journey!

Visit us on the web at www.msopd.com. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

See you there!
