Just learned that family friends Charlie & Paula created a Flickr photoset of their still images from Dad's birthday party.

How nice to be able to share the slideshow from their collection.

Here's their rendition of "Amazing Grace" with Bonnie Rideout:

A longer-form documentary, this footage includes 'The Surprise' and Father's 80th Birthday speech as he opens cards & gifts.

Especially for those of you who would have liked to have been there, but couldn't.

We missed you.

The Humble (formerly 'Good') Shepherd :: Paula & Charlie Glendinning's Gift

On the event of my father's 80th birthday, family friends Paula & Charlie Glendinning dedicated the song, "The Humble (formerly 'Good') Shepherd" to the old man.

Here for your enjoyment is their birthday rendition of the tune that promises to be played by pipe bands around the world for decades to come.

Best gift imaginable from the best friends imaginable.

Brava y bravo, you two, for everything you make and do.

Thank you for making Dad's 80th perfectly memorable.
