Coolest. Thing. Ever.

Now, I've piped at Roy Thompson Hall, the closing of Maple Leaf Gardens, the Skydome (several times) and about a million other places under all kinds of circumstances......

BUT!

Tonight was by FAR the coolest moment I've had performing as a piper. And I'm not sure it's even close.

To lead a mini-band out onto the stage of a throbbing, pulsating crowd that can barely hold itself back, and then to get a cheer over which you can't even hear the three-beat roll from the drummers to play out is just beyond fucking belief. The rush was just incredible.

AND! We all got to meet the band, get a picture with them, and have a few beers. Good freakin' times.

I have pictures on my phone. I'll post those later, if for no other reason than to make Berns jealous.... :)

PS: Did I mention Bad Religion closed the show? Yeah.... well, they did.
