I grant you, haggis is not a food I would put into my mouth, however, the bagpipes, when played properly can make for beautiful music...speaking as a direct desendent of a Scottish family that made their way thru Ellis Island.
Rabid?????
Come now, is there nothing in your heritage that you will stand up for?
My Dad and Grandfather used to regale the children with music on the accordian. WE loved it and I have VERY fond memories of it!
And yes, hearing "Amazing Grace" played by bagpipers was enough to bring tears to the eyes of the "Ladies From Hell" marching into battle in WWI. Those tartan-kilted Scots whipped the fire out of a LOT of Germans.
But as for accordian music, some of my earliest childhood memories are of Lawrence Welk saying, "An a one, and a two, and three", and then 'Calcutta' would start. Oh, the horror....:)
