Pipes and Drums of FreeRepublic ping!
This is an ultra-low-volume ping list (typically weeks to months between pings, for matters related to Highland bagpipes and Scotland).
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this list.
Going to the Games? Organize a Clan FReeper get-together!
Ahhhh...
God bless ‘em, one and all.
We had a piper from the Black Watch play the Marine’s Hymn for a fallen Marine at a ramp ceremony at Kandahar Air Base this past summer. He played it very slow marching ahead of the casket. There were about 3-400 of us assembled from several different nations and every one was blinking back tears.
I saw them yesterday. They were awesome!
The Pipes will do that.
I have no Scottish ancestors whatsoever, but big, brave men in kilts? Grrrrrrrrrr. :)
