Hi Dana

Does your wife like pipe music?? If not, then skip the rest of this. If she does, you might get a copy of the new DVD/video "When the Pipers Play". Holy cow. Is it ever moving - I had tears in my eyes, and, when I got done, I thought, now _that's_ why I play the pipes.

Anyway - if she's willing to watch, she'll see lots of kilted guys who look really swell, and none of them look like they're wearing skirts!

One of the truly remarkable scenes in the video comes from the Battle of the Somme, WW I, 1917. B&W footage of the trenches, and a piper climbing out of the trenches followed by kilted soldiers with rifles running toward the German lines. Doesn't get much more gutsy than that.

Lots of places sell it. Here's one:
