    I was at this recital. What he plays there is a set of old Lawrie Drones with a McCallum Chanter, his Naill set is a full silver set..

    Einer meiner liebsten Piper ist Gordon Walker. Ich bekomme nicht genug von ihm. Ich fragte PM David Johnson warum er ihn nicht auch mal als Lehrer bucht bei der Winterschule. Er fragte mich nur ob ich nicht von seinem Problem wisse ... Ich verneinte und fragte was er meint. Gordon Walker ist Alkoholkrank. (Ich betone hier ausdücklich dass es eine Krankheit ist und kein Spaß.) Die Aufregung vor dem Auftritt ist sein größer Feind. Ich muss dazu sagen dass ich ihn leider nicht persönlich kenne. Er scheint ein Feiner Kerl zu sein. Aber ich habe schon viele Piper kennengelernt wo die Party nie endet. Ein jeder Mensch hat sein Päckchen zu tragen und es gibt Schwächen und Stärken. Aber ich kenne derzeit kaum jemanden der so flink mit seinen kurzen Fingern ist wie er. Meine Bewunderung gilt seiner außergewöhnlichen Spielweise und wenn ein so kleiner Mann so schön spielt, gönnen wir ihm auch mal einen Whisky. Meine Hochachtung davor wenn er es überwunden hat.
