My interests other than piping are no less diverse.

I collect (some would say hoard) vintage clothing and collectibles from the early half of the last century and have done so for several years.

My preocupation with old stuff doesn't stop with clothing and furniture. I am a ravenous music collector, prefering pre-1960s Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Country and random oddities. I collect 78rpm records and spend many nights out listening to bands that play the old styles.

My other musical obsession is Irish traditional music and the Irish tin whistle. An beautiful and frustrating little instrument.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my various doings. Please let me know if you have any questions.
