Bagpipe Concert

 This rug was used as a hanging. I was very nice and I would not mind having it in my home.

 It was finally time for the concert and Gerald Muirhead arrived in full costume. Before coming to Japan, Gerry was a member of the Royal Scottish Bagpipe Band (not absolutely sure about this name), a professional. He still wears the RSBB costume when he performs, so the plaid is not his clan's.
