I Like Bagpipes

Bagpipes Touch Something Deep In Your Soul... I first heard bagpipes years ago in childhood. Couldn't say exactly when, but cannot hear them enough. In fact I'm listening to the Peatbog Fairies instrumental version of Folk Police which includes Harps, Pipes & Fiddles. And I love all the above. I may have no scottish blood, but I am still stirred every time I hear the bagpipes go. I can see my ancestors going over the top on the Western Front with the pipers moving 'em forward to their certain deaths. That wail can be a harbinger of doom for someone. Of course, part of it is I am a hopeless romantic and really should have been born in time for the WW I, because I am stubborn and crazy enough to do what those brave yet foolhardy young men did. My only fault is I don't take orders well, especially from stupid superiors, so I probably would have been shot for mutiny.

My great grandmother's family was from Scotland. I also agree that the sound of bagpipes touches something deep inside of me.
