BERLIN — Bagpiper Tom Childs is lifting the spirits of local residents during this pandemic by performing nightly on the pedestrian bridge over the Androscoggin River. Every night at 7 p.m. for the past week, Childs has gone out on the bridge and played for approximately 20 minutes.

He admitted being a little nervous the first time but said his playing has been well-received. Childs plays a selection of contemporary bagpipe tunes but ends on an inspirational note with “Amazing Grace.”
