Just found this:

Quantum Entanglement

"Anyways, Donald went down into the hull of their boat and grabbed his bagpipes. Once above deck, he started to blow them as loud as he could, hoping and praying that his song would be carried to the shore, by the westerly gales.

"In the meantime, an unknown “Good Samaritan” heard the faint bellowing and grabbed his bagpipes and began to blow loudly from the Kincardine shoreline.

"Eventually they could hear each others’ pipes and the captain of the boat was able to put in safely, in the harbour, with no lives lost.

"After that, Donald (believing” in paying it forward”) would often go to the harbour around dusk and “pipe” the setting sun down, in an effort to help anyone else who might need to find their way to shore."

So, while that page doesn't mention the song, it might give a clue to where the piper in the song made his home in the new world. Maybe it was Kincardine, Ontario, Canada.
