For you Yanks on board, if you have never heard the Last Post, look it up. Used the same as Taps, but in my opinion, is much nicer(no offence intended). We need a smiley on here who salutes.
I second those sentiments Moosehead. if there is one piece of music that will bring me to tears (well other than Celene Dion singing "my heart will go on" and that one make me cry because she didnt go down with the ship - but i digress) its Amazing Grace played en masses on the pipes. it is the most touching & heart wrenching piece there is. Gives me chills from head to toe & even have the hairs on teh back on my neck raised just thinking about it

ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!
