You played the bagpipes?

I did for 7 years, from my teens to early twenties. I also traveled to Scotland to compete in 2008 in pipe band and solo competitions.

This is a video me playing the Canadian anthem at Simon Fraser University, where I first encountered bagpipes.

Why do you write?

To express my thoughts clearly.

There's value in publishing answers to frequently asked questions, to clarify one's thoughts and share the result.

Happy reading!
