I can play the bagpipes. My neighbors once banded together to insist that I STOP playing. I was drunk and played Auld Lang Syne at midnight one New Year's Eve. Loudly!

Amazing Grace on the bagpipes brings me to tears. Too many cop and firefighter funerals. I had a bagpipe related trauma as a teenager. It has taken me many years to be able to withstand the sound of pipes without flashbacks. My high school marching band marched in a parade in Niagara Falls, crossing from the American to the Canadian Side. This isn't where the trauma occured. That night we went to Toronto, and stayed in a lovely hotel. Unfortunately my band was housed on the same floor as the Ontario Police Pipe and Drum. Drunken Ontario Policemen playing bagpipes at 3am. That experience wounds a person deeply. I still jolt awake sometimes, thinking I'm hearing Scotland the Brave.
