If you’re in the local area, consider attending this concert at Notre Dame’s DeBartolo Performing Arts Center (@dpacnd ). Natalie and her husband Donnell are truly world-class musicians with Natalie having won a Grammy and many Canadian music awards as well (@nataliemacmaster_donnellleahy ). Don’t miss this opportunity to see her electric live performance! The last time she was at ND was in 2007, who knows when she’ll come back again?
Feeling blessed. But also overwhelmed. Just after Thanksgiving last year, I developed some severe pain in my left side, from my neck down to my fingers. Pain so severe, I couldn’t lift my arm. After numerous tests and scans and whatnot, I learned that I had a bone spur growing inside one of my nerve outlets which was pinching off the nerve. Physical therapy helped relax the muscles, but couldn’t resolve the pinched nerve. After 8 months of trying other things, surgery was finally needed and scheduled. I’ve used my left arm most sparingly over the last year. Imagine trying to do anything and everything one handed. Imagine driving with only your right hand ALL the time, no matter what, for months on end. Imagine no longer being able to hold your children or anything more than 10 lbs. It’s an invisible ailment and imagine people looking at you funny when you struggle to do something.
I had surgery on Monday. Dr. Patel of North Central Neurosurgery cleaned out not one, but two spurs as well as fused C5-7. I’ll be wearing this neck collar for the next 3 months. Bagpiping is likely out of the equation until April.
Like after the surgery I had for my hip in 2019, I became a better man for it once it healed and I’m sure that’ll be the case here too. Please pray for my full recovery, if you are inclined to prayer. And I’ll see you all again soon.

I had the distinct privilege and honor of getting to play #bagpipes with my son this evening at the @themorrisinn . Words fail at how cool and fun it is to be able to play and perform music with your kids. We had a great crowd of well over 250 people too! Swipe to see video! #blessed #bagpipes #weddings #notredame #goirish #meninkilts #kilts #irishweddings #scottishwedding #bagpipers #southbendindiana #southbend #indiana #weddingvenues #destinationwedding #destinationweddings

5 years ago, lightning struck and I played on national TV when the College Gameday crowd came to town. Will lightning strike again this weekend? Conditions are favorable….and possibly even likely! Stay tuned!
