Oklahoma Bagpiper

Today, everytime the news has a bit on the bombing, it has been reported with piping in the background. I am not quite sure that "The Minstrel Boy" is the best tune to be playing, but that was what I heard.

Actually, the tune he was playing was "The Dawning of the Day".

Thank you. I DO know the difference. When I heard him he was playing "The Minstral Boy".

Was that at the end of the ceremony? I haven't seen that part. When he led the procession in he was playing "Dawning of the Day", but I don't know what he might have played at the end, and none of the videos I could find show anything but the opening.
