During what was called "The Quebec Crisis" a member of the Vandoos (Royal 22nd Regiment) pointed an FN at me and aked what was in my guitar case. I had a short time earlier trained with the FN and I thanked him for having the rifle 'safed'. He nodded. I then opened the guitar case in downtown Montreal and sang a few songs for the boys, including Phil Ochs' "Draft Dodger Rag" which they enjoyed. But, it could equally have been a guitar case filled with plastique or Lord knows what. Caution is a wise thing to have.

Incidentally, I love bagpipe music, and if any pipers are offended by my remark earlier, I do apologize.
