Thread Name: Amazing Grace and the Bagpipes
Subject: RE: Amazing Grace and the Bagpipes
The first time I heard "Amazing Grace" was in the '60s, at the beginning of the movie _Alice's Restaurant_. Since then, I have mostly heard it sung by persons of my acquaintance whom I admire, so it has that sentimental value for me. It is on my list of magical songs, and for my book I have amalgamated all the various versions I have seen & heard.

I indeed have a tape of the Royal Scots Dragoons with that song on it, but I listen to it seldom enough that I do not consider it overperformed.
