   Barry's reply suggests a possible need for a new sub-group within the
   NPS, the naturist sectionon second thoughts, I don't even want to
   picture it!!
   Best wishes,

Actually I have a picture in my book of Barry playing au naturelle.

Um, I mean the bag is not covered. Thankfully, Barry himself is! (what 
is the emoticon for a big sigh of relief)

Does anyone remember a thread from the distant past when a now
well-respected piper suggested playing in one's skin was a good
way of discovering bellows leaks?

   Helen, I still have the pattern for your cat-bag. Did you copyright it,
   or shall I start a new business making cat- bags? Come to think of it,
   I haven't got time to start a new business.

Interestingly, when I made a 'costume' for my pipes, in a moment of
   madness,
to make them look like I was playing a cat, they ended up sounding
   very
muffled. It is important to allow the bag to be the sound chamber and
   not over
insulate it.
I know, I will be the but of cat jokes for ever now!
I still haven't made the kiwi look-alike, anyone want to make me a
   curved
chanter?
