    Cool, been working on the Marine Corps Hymn for our birthday. Amazing grace has always been a favorite.
    Quick story. My dad (a career Army Officer) would put on the pipes at 0600 every Sunday morning and we would field day the house before church. No small wonder I'm so twisted:)

    It's deff in the DNA. I went to the games in BC (Highland Games for you non Scotts) when I was 10. The pipes, I don't know how to explain it. Powerful stuff.

    Fun sucker. But seriously, not to stray from the thread to far, as a former LEO I understand. As a retired Marine the pipes also have a special place for me. We have always had a special relationship with the Royal Marines. Having traveled a great deal I have always been amused and surprised by the different military's that use the pipes. Usually former British colonies. Heck even the Palestinians and many oriental countries.
    In those case it is a bit like listening to a Philippino in a Japanese Country and Western Bar (Western Tokio was the bar name) belting out "I'm proud to be an American".:) Just not quit the same.
