Thanks so much. I guess you know "Sgt. MacKenzie".

FReeper "pipecorp" knew what my tagline was too. He also commented on it tonight. He plays the pipes and plays Sgt. MacKenzie at funerals.

What a moving lament! Says everything there is to say about a soldier in a few verses.

The lonely sound of a single bugle playing taps I revere, the bagpipes and the slow funeral procession evoke similar emotions.

Your reference to Sgt. MacKenzie is spot on and I tip me tankard and wish you and yours a peaceful slumber.
