    Great Rendition of Amazing Grace

    Just in case you haven't seen this big production number of the pipes and orchestra:

    Most impressive. I have to confess I got choked up a little. Certainly amongst the top renditions I've ever heard ... and I've heard many many ...

    A most beautiful performance, visually and to the ear! Loved it!

    I had never seen a 'piper in an evening gown, until now. Thanks, Jim.

    Very nice! I will add this one to my favorites.

    I also like Amazing Grace done by Karen Matheson in Gaelic. I love her voice

    Enjoy!

    Talk about music moving the soul. My wife and I have taken our 3yr old granddaughter to several pipe and drum competitions and every time they have a mass gathering it goes thru me. I enjoy the bflat sound that carries the GHP through the air, the way it captures the soul and the imagination.

    Great video,

    Yep, I play the pipes. But I WOULD like to just sit in the front row and let that sound wash over me. Sometimes we pipers get a bit "jaded" about Amazing Grace. But it really is a nice tune.
    I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
