Even as a little boy I've been affected that way. Weird huh?

Funny that,...but i feel the very same way!!!

I still get goosebumps when marching. The one set that always does it is the new one we're working on, Raigmore/Dr. MacInnes's Fancy

Good photo, thanks. I like it that the pipes in the background are the focus rather than the Jameson.

Must be in the blood, how many other xmarkers are effecte by the pipes in motion? Maybe it brings back one of the 'collective memories' that the phsycologists talk about.

I posted it on the forum so it must be free use! Do with it what you want, just don't claim ownership.

That is some awesome piping. Makes me wish we had a pipe band around here. . .

When the drones start their sound, I always feel the hair raise on my neck. It usually happens if I am home around 14:00. That is when my across the street neighbor practices on his pipes. Year round we can hear them here in our house. This is NOT a complaint as both of us love bagpipe music.
