A very fitting memorial to a very fine man and piper.

| Well done Andrew for this idea and WELL DONE, to Colin for writing such a great personal story on Alasdair. This is what a tribute should be all about and a wonderful way to honor his memory.

| nice story Colin but am curious, regarding
"The next editorial of the Piping Times thundered on about the perpetrator of the rather heinous light bulb crime being caught and punished for having "brought the game of piping into disrepute" (Seumas MacNeill was one of the judges)".
So were you caught and what was the punishment?

| A beautifuly story told so well about a wonderful person. I would like to add a comment regarding Alasdair. Having the same name only spelt differently, I menioned to him that many people not familiar with our name had difficulty pronouncing it. So I told him that whenever I gave my name I would mention, " Do you know the name Fred Astair" then I would say "Well I'm Alistair". Alasdair thought this very amusing and laughed and said he would use this when giving his name. When we exchanged e-mails he would always sign off. "Fred, the other one" Rest in piece, God bless you.
Alistair, (The other one) | |
