I have experienced quite a few bagpipe performances in my life. This is likely due to the Scot in my family heritage.
Fifty percent on Mom's side with the other half from my Dad being of Brit extraction. I don't know how the genetics would play out. This would make my information qualitative, not quantitative.
My last performance experience was at my late Aunt Glenda Idella Johnston Jolly's funeral, complete with Clan Johnston regalia.
Talk tae iz in Scots.
Today is Bagpipe Appreciation Day.
It is an annual observance celebrated on July 27. The day celebrates an ancient musical instrument known as the bagpipe. This instrument dates back thousands of years and has become a part of the Scottish tradition and is beloved by many.
Bagpipes have been used during battle, funerals, parades, weddings, and various ceremonial occasions by royalty.
Though I'm not really a fan of the music I find the bagpipe an interesting example of cultural curiosa.
