This is no bad propaganda, only the sad truth. Can you handle the truth? Spare lives, stop the abuse and boykott chain restaurants like KFC!
Thank you so much for your consideration and hopefully for your support!
New Website logo! By now you have probably noticed my new logo, posted on my website front page. A piping black bear. Let me clue you in what this is all about. For months now I have been searching for a crest, logo, that would not only represent my profession as bagpiper but also display my German heritage. The bear in the logo is the Berlin Bear, which is the official crest of the City of Berlin (Germany), the city I originally hail from. Even though that I spent most of my life in Hamburg, I consider myself a "Berliner". And of course what else would the bear do than playing the pipes? A similar logo has been used by the British Forces for the 1988 Berlin Military Tattoo. I have to give full credit to the organizers of the Tattoo for creating this image, however, I edited the logo so that I would not be confused with the original image. Furthermore I was not able to loacte any copyright on the image and I think I will be alright using it in its changed format.
New Pipe Band founded in Greenville, South Carolina!
As of September 2007, I am the pipe major of the 84th Highlanders Pipe Band. The band is still in its beginning phase but with six active pipers in the pipe section and many new prospects for 2008 we are off to a good start. The band practices once a week in downtown Greenville and is looking for new pipers and drummers on all levels! Don't hold you breath to see us perform or compete any time soon, we will spend most of 2008 perfecting our playing skills and new tunes. If you are interested in joining the 84th Highlanders please do not hesitate to contact me!
