2. When I was a kid

We used to have someone in our neighborhood that would go out on his back porch and play his bagpipes for about 15-30 minutes every night, weather permitting. I dug it!!

4. I was just telling Sniffa about when I was in boarding school

Every Sunday morning, a faculty member would walk all over campus playing them at 7 am :)

[Roon]

5. Yikes!!

That's too early, this guy started around 4pm every day. No one was sleeping.

7. And what do I get to be?

Hmmmm?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Okay, this is what we decided on and we think it's super cool.

Since you and sniffa are a couple, you guys will be flowermaid and ringbearer. We don't want kids doing it and since you guys are together, it works perfect.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Yay!! We're so excited!!

:bounce: :bounce:

Seriously, thank you...We'll make you two proud, promise :)

:loveya:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. What songs did you guys have?

[joneschick]

18. good lord that was almost 22 years ago!

we were active in the SCA at the time and all the music was pre-1600. He's the musician of this couple so he chose and set up all the choices with musician friends. We had a lute as well. :hi:

9. Went to a friend's funeral several years ago.

We were all doing OK until the piper came strolling out playing Amazing Grace.
Everybody lost it then.
Very emotional music.

and he had them. You're right: very emotional music.

22. When I was a kid.....

there was an old man who would sometimes walk up and down the alley playing bagpipes. He always wore a scruffy old kilt and looked rather scruffy himself. We never knew who he was or where he lived, and he always refused money. But whenever he came playing and the weather was cooperative, we'd all go out to hear him play. He was quite talented.

To this day, I love the sound of bagpipes.
