Also, liked the video on Passchendaele. Have to find out more history about that. I wondered how you got to practice with the band, now I know---a long commute. My son Mark's wife was attending college in Toronto and Mark made that trip several times. He only complained about one section which seemed to be very boring. His wife transfered to Tempe, AZ where she is finishing up her degree. (it wasn't the weather that made her change) Mark finds getting on an airplane a much better commute from Griswold, CT. ABBA is one of my favorite groups. I used to have one of their videos on my facebook page---it might still be there--- Burns night in Groton was a splendid affair. Hope you can make it next year! Peace and Blessings, Ev Munro Alex, Enjoyed learning more about the Toronto Police Pipe Band! Also, liked the video on Passchendaele. Have to find out more history about that.

It does have that strange ability to keep you awake...not unlike mainlining an jumbo-sized Ethiopian brewed coffee. But honestly, I can't fathom the commitment it takes to undergo your commute...It may go unsaid but THANKS for your above-and-beyond dedication to the band! Plus you guys are good people - the best. See you soon. Kelly ABBA – Dancing Queen, in paticular – was my early morning wake-up music back in the day when I worked the early morning shift as a hospital nurse.

BTW ABBA is great for keeping you awake while driving as long as you play it really loud and leave the windows open for all to enjoy. Alex, bring the CD back with you this weekend please.
