That’s my boy. Well done P-Nizzle.
Well done J.P. A rare feat indeed. I’m bringing my daughter Annie out to Victoria in July for the Canadian Dancing Championships. For sure we’re going to drink as much of the water out there as possible. (There must me something in it!) Can’t wait for the news someday when you win all of the Piping and the Drumming events! Congrats! HOSS
Your the man Jamie! Congrats my friend.
Way to go James. I was watching your Dad in the audience on Saturday and I don’t think I have ever seen a more prouder parent in all my life. You truly are a talented young man, and have many more day’s like this ahead of you. If you read this say hi to your dad for me I didn’t get a chance to speak to him on Sat. I’ll be looking forward to hearing you play again. Once more a big congrats to a great player All the best Cindy Chambers
