Another day in paradise, eh? I thought BJ's was gonna pound a hole right through that drum!  Wink

Nice to see Bert Laurik... you would not happen to have a picture of him in full dress, would you?  As a former piper in 3RCR, I spent more then a few hours talking with him at the mess when I returned to the 1st in 82.

Fifes? Is that what they call the flute like instrument the brits werre playing. Were they part of the band or was the learing of the fife some form of professional development training?  Wink
