More about How to Hire a Piper.

“Basically, It’s questions and answers. What I’m trying to get out is all of this information about the job that I do.

Because there is a “job” aspect to what I do.

There’s a gig, there’s a career, there’s a profession, there’s a craft to it,

there’s an art to it, there’s a science, there’s a technology.”

-Billy Joel

I could not have said it better myself. –Dave McKenzie
