Out and about

As for the pipes, there is NOTHING like the pipes on Remembrance Day, along with Last Post on the bugle. Even at 42, all the hairs on the back of my head still stand up and a huge lump comes into my throat. And yes, many tears have been shed.

For you Yanks on board, if you have never heard the Last Post, look it up. Used the same as Taps, but in my opinion, is much nicer(no offence intended). We need a smiley on here who salutes.

I second those sentiments Moosehead. if there is one piece of music that will bring me to tears (well other than Celene Dion singing "my heart will go on" and that one make me cry because she didnt go down with the ship - but i digress) its Amazing Grace played en masses on the pipes. it is the most touching & heart wrenching piece there is. Gives me chills from head to toe & even have the hairs on teh back on my neck raised just thinking about it

Wish I had a recording of the massed pipes and drums/bands from the Longs Peak Highland Festival playing Amazing Grace. They start out with a lone piper and build to usually 4 pipes and drums group with one band (it's been the Marine Corps 29 Palms band the last few years). Does get to you

The most interesting thing that happened was the in-store PA system started playing Amazing Grace, yeah the pipe version.

Talked to my daughter and her roommate, both of whom worked for Wal-Mart in the past; the overhead music at the local store is not under local control. It is control out of the main office in Arkansas.

So the pipe music was a sign from above. I hope and not from down below.
