Well my roots are Scottish Irish so the Pipes have a special place for me.
The first time I heard them it was Heart Heart Heart!!!
“Well my roots are Scottish Irish so the Pipes have a special place for me.”
Me too. Mostly Scots/Irish with some Dane, Norman, and Welsh tossed in. I traced us back to the 12th Century Scotland. When I was 17, I was obviously Scottish with a mountain of red hair. Even now, the first thing my skin doctor said when he did an exam was, “let me guess, Scottish?”. LOL He said I had skin that should never see the sun.
Until his dying day, my grandfather called city people “lowlanders” or “flatlanders”. The Irish comes from my grandmother’s side. They named all of their female dogs Lassie, regardless of what breed they were.
If you like Scottish music, check out Scottish Melody by Legendary Vocals and Amazing Grace by Il Divo. A little bit of pipes in Amazing Grace.
