Dunshire Bagpipe Forum 2/1/06

At what point can one call himself a piper? (my response to a rather heated discussion about what a piper is)

I'm glad to see some "pipers" have seen the humor in this discussion. Others need to loosen up their collars a bit and quit worrying about who's a piper and who isn't. It does feel nice to get compliments, but I'm not waiting for some magical moment when I suddenly change from "piper wanna be" to "piper".

I think I'll just have fun learning and improving and calling myself a piper while I wait for my official "piper" certification.
