Thread Name: Amazing Grace and the Bagpipes
Subject: RE: Amazing Grace and the Bagpipes
While on this train of thought, (I personally love hearing the pipes, BTW) why is it that at almost any event, parade, or gathering of any sort, Scotland The Brave is played? It would seem to me that song is more like a national anthem and that it should be revered like our Star Spangled Banner. Not that I mind hearing Scotland THe Brave, it is very pretty tune. As for Amazing Grace on the pipes, the hearing of it never fails to dampen the eyes....It is such a beautiful melody.
