@BagpiperDon ! ! ! OH YEA ! ! !

Possibly the most original thing to happen for #Scottish #bagpipes since Fred Morrison's "Outlands" album -- The #ShantyPiper -- traditional sea shanties arranged for your favourite Highland #bagpiper! amazon.com/Shanty-Piper-S…

@BagpiperDon In Good News... ... 3 people messaged me to say that AZon sent them a recommendation email today with my book listed. ... I got a picture from a fellow who's the 1st I know of to receive a paper copy* -- said he was happy, GREAT! (*I don't even have a copy yet!)

@adelbrown Thanks! It'll be fun to see what happens with this book -- it's not what my piping peers expect ... but there are signs that they're beginning to get more open minded.

@WIBakingCo Congrats! So happy for you! #1 🥳

My new book -- the ebook version is still holding as a #1 New Release in Music Composition. Prop up the print book! amazon.com/dp/B0DS9B2886

Yep -- I write #recipe #books, and I write bagpipe #sheetmusic books! The print version of my new bagpipe #ShantyPiper book has gone LIVE on Amazon and at The Piper's Hut! And it's a #1 New Release at Amazon?!? It seems I do have some luck!!! 😎 amazon.com/dp/B0DS9B2886

@gauripokhariyal Hi Gauri -- All the Best to You & Yours with 2025!

@WIBakingCo Congrats Don! A very happy & healthy 2025 to you...

So -- yeah -- I'm a baker and a bagpiper -- and an author! And MY NEXT BOOK HAS GONE LIVE!!! I've been quietly working on it for 4 years .... so, yeah, I'm pretty excited about this.... 😜

@ClaudesBBQ Prepare for conversion!

@WIBakingCo Nope

If I were a cow, this would be me.

@ClaudesBBQ I'm allergic to picklenog, man -- so, you know .... whatever!

Some of y’all drink eggnog and yet, scoff at a pickle sandwich.

@BuffaloRon You win some, you lose some...

GM Xitter Friends! I will never help anyone again......EVER! I'm too kindhearted, or I'm too stupid..... Yesterday it was so cold out that we took a man into our home out of the kindness of our hearts. We felt so sorry for him, poor thing was standing stiff and frozen out in the cold, but this morning he had just vanished. Not a word...not even a goodbye or a thank you for sheltering him. The last straw?!?! When I realized he had peed all over the floor! That's the “thank you” I get for being good to people?!?!?! Now I'm going to warn my friends to watch out for this man! He is heavy-set, wearing nothing but a scarf, he has a carrot-like nose, two black eyes, and his arms are stick skinny. Don't bring him into your house! What a mess he made on the floor. Hope you have a wonderful day!!

@ClaudesBBQ Looks good to me -- but then I haven't baked bread for the last eon, and I've never attempted scoring. So ... keep trying stuff and pushing food boundaries!

Scoring didn’t turn out like I wanted.

@ClaudesBBQ It could be worse -- it could be 7 .... although I'm trying to figure out how that'd be 'worse'.

Six pieces of bacon. This is just ridiculous now.

@ClaudesBBQ So, by 'private stock' .... you mean that you won't put one in an envelope and mail it to me?

Simple biscuit, scrambled eggs and Private Stock.

@ClaudesBBQ Presentation matters -- but when you get down to it, good eatin' food and healthy food is what matters. Good on ya!

Presentation isn’t great but it tastes delicious.

@BagpiperDon Congratulations!

About this time last night --> The first person to see my upcoming book -- still in rough form -- GOT THEIR EYES ON IT! This '1st reader' said that the book was much more than they expected it to be.

@BagpiperDon ***AWESOME*** Good Luck!!!

Getting some time today on my next sheet #music #book project. Getting close to DONE!

I think this is going to be my first print book that does not have both #recipes and #bagpipe music .... WEIRD!

Working to finish my next #book ASAP -- doing the remaining tasks out of order, but being productive with the time I have. It's still progress, and something is better than nothing. Going live by the end of the month???
