Sad days in Ottawa when stalwart members of the piping and drumming community pass away; you think back to when you last saw or spoke to them, and you hope you're doing well by their standards....this past week saw us lose John Kerr, a drummer noted by many as one of the best and very innovative for his time, and Ted Moffatt, piping teacher and fellow bandmate of mine in the Cameron Highlanders....they shall both be missed.
