I ❀️ This one! Anything with bagpipes is good.

Fun fact: they tuned down a half step on this one so Mal could play his part as a B chord and drop the 1 to an A, and they don't do that anymore, which is why they find it hard to play it.

@DyDave
Wow, that would complicate things! Also explains the unique sound of the song. Thanks for the fun fact!

If you like bagpipes, check out this one! I discovered it a couple years ago, and the group has other songs out. I won't be surprised if you've already heard it. πŸ˜‰ If you haven't, you're in for a treat!

That's cool! I Iove the dudes dancing!

As for bagpipes, I believe I'm genetically coded to love them in any application.

Here are mine, featuring the Clan Campbell/Muir tartan

I suck at playing them FTR.

@DyDave
Yeah, I love the expression on those dudes' faces, pure joy!

I think I've got a lot of genetic bagpipe in me. πŸ˜‰

Wow, those are gorgeous pipes! 😍 Beautiful grain in the wood. There's something special about pipes with your family tartan, regardless of how you play them!

The tech behind it sure grabs me, too! I played bass and a little guitar back in the '80s, got into a couple of bands. The tech available today would have blown our minds!

My people who came to Canada are mostly County Donegal Irish - and Protestant, which is why they were keen to get to the New World - but earlier from Scotland.

I watched a documentary about Irish dance last night and it seemed so natural.

I also love a big pipe band playing Scotland the Brave.

Pipes, fiddles, tin whistles, Bosnians, etc.: all of it hits me.

This, for example, makes me want to fight fascists wherever they may be found.

@DyDave
LOL. I read right through other peoples' typos, but can't stand my own. :doh: πŸ˜‚

@DyDave
Oh yeah, that really stirs something in me, too! Had to watch all the way through. Sometimes the mountains in Colorado feel the way I imagine the Scottish highlands feel.

I don't know nearly as much as I'd like of my Scottish ancestry, but I have it on both my mother's side and my father's. Felt it before I paid attention.

Interestingly, my real surname traces back to Huguenots, French Protestants.

I guess fighting fascists is in my blood too. Never thought of it that way. πŸ’ͺ
