About the Author
Charlie Glendinning played with the City of Washington Pipe Band (through
its many carnations, incarnations and reincarnations) for thirty years,
serving most of that time as Pipe Sergeant with two separate tours as Pipe
Major.
He began taking piano lessons when he was three, but in fifth grade met the violin
and studied it seriously for the next eight years. He played with the
Maryland Youth Orchestra, the Annapolis Symphony and the American Light
Opera Company, and won the National School Symphony Award in his senior year
of high school. That senior year was when he discovered the bagpipe. He and
the violin settled amicably and are still very good friends.
