O infidel heretic pagan! It is a music only appreciated by the One True Free People! (What that makes my cats I hesitate to say, because unlike Julia's dog, they will leave the room every time. Now violin music they like - go figure! ;D ) <snip> > There is nothing quite so stirring or that can get > my blood pumping quite > like a good pipe-and-drum band with those high, > crisp Scottish snare drums. > > Julia (and anybody else), what's your favorite > bagpipe recording?

I still occasionally rack up my Battlefield Band "Home Is Where The Van Is" IIRC, Glascow Police Pipe Band (1970?) and the 1972 Military Tatoo albums, scratches an' au'. At a Celtic Fest I just happened across south of Portland OR, I heard a neat Australian band (Brother, IIRC) who played bagpipe, digeredoo (sp?) and electric guitar; sadly I didn't have enough cash on me to buy a CD (I was supposed to be hiking at Monmouth), and never was able to find them afterward. The Chieftains have some great albums with various pipes - Santiago is a favorite. 'Afro-Celt' has some wild crossover/fusion stuff - great beat!
