05:09 MON 24 AUG 2026 Buona sera! I appreciate your from-the-heart post. I like your style and I’ve been watching. They remind me of when I first got into bagpiping, more than 40 years ago. A friend, with me in Atlanta, Georgia, recommended I telephone Mr. Gibb McKenzie, in Birmingham, Alabama, to order my inaugural supplies. What an uncommon gentleman he was! Attentive, kind, thoughtful, easy-going, efficient, and TRUSTING: he drop-shipped my supplies to me immediately, not waiting for payment, trusting he would get paid, which, of course he did. My check probably crossed his package in the mail. The shared trust and respect energized our business friendship. I always enjoyed working with him, which I did for years. Your energy reminds me of his. I’m glad you’re here. I look forward to buying from you! View quoted note →
