I love bagpipe music
Ok, I'm not ashamed to say that I love bagpipe music.
From the most popular.. Amazing Grace to the more obscure The Rowan Tree Highland Cathedral is a bit more modern

limey, do you know about North Sea Gas? (Not bagpipes, but Scottish)
I've got a couple of their early cds. I like them quite a bit.

If you're ever in North Texas, try to make the North Texas Irish Festival (March 5th-7th, Fair Park, Dallas) or the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games (June 4th-6th, Maverick Stadium, Arlington). I'll be the guy wearing the donegal beard and the utilikilt.

I can play the bagpipes. My neighbors once banded together to insist that I STOP playing. I was drunk and played Auld Lang Syne at midnight one New Year's Eve. Loudly!

Amazing Grace on the bagpipes brings me to tears. Too many cop and firefighter funerals. I had a bagpipe related trauma as a teenager. It has taken me many years to be able to withstand the sound of pipes without flashbacks. My high school marching band marched in a parade in Niagara Falls, crossing from the American to the Canadian Side. This isn't where the trauma occured. That night we went to Toronto, and stayed in a lovely hotel. Unfortunately my band was housed on the same floor as the Ontario Police Pipe and Drum. Drunken Ontario Policemen playing bagpipes at 3am. That experience wounds a person deeply. I still jolt awake sometimes, thinking I'm hearing Scotland the Brave.
