I stewarded many times for him at Loonmountain highland games. When Alistair played , it was a musical journey. He was so humble,he would see you walking at the games and always take time for a wee chat.
I had the pleasure to meet Alasdair at a Balmoral School in 2008. While I was very new at piping he was so kind to me. Such a loss to the piping world.
Yes it is a nice tribute Drew. But why do Americans have to say inane things like "best piper of the 20th Century?" What about Donald MacPherson and his 15 Seniors at Oban, 9 Clasps and 7 MSR's at Inverness? Or Donald MacLeod and his 8 Clasps? Or John Burgess? And knowing Alasdair as I did he would be appalled at folk saying that. Great recording by the by!
