I have been playing the pipes over forty years. In 1960 I joined the United States Air Force Pipe Band in Washington, D.C. and toured the world, representing the United States.

In 1961 I was chosen to be a Whitehouse piper for John F. Kennedy, and in 1963 I played with the Air Force Pipe Band at the President's graveside.

Have Bagpipes, Will Travel
Many of my performances are located near beautiful Lake George, NY. Pictured above are views of the lake and of Fort William Henry. In addition, I will travel most anywhere in Eastern NY and Vermont, and I am available 24/7, year round.
Piping at The Sagamore
During the summer months, I perform at hotels and motels on the lake. I pipe for everything from barbeques to marshmallow roasts. Pictured here are some of my weekly performances at The Sagamore Hotel.
