Jim, our "Syracuse Scottish " wasn't all that much.
We did have one VERY good Piper , a 18 yr old lad who wandered in
the Stadium in Syracuse during our Highland Games .
He had never head a pipe but in two years my uncle, Dan McGill , a good technical piper, had him winning solo in real Highland Games
and us the odd ribbon .
And oh , he was 100 % Italian from a wealthy family who took the lad
to Scotland and bought him the best pipes in the land !
