just heard it many times.

A dear friend passed away last year, and he loved Scotland, loved golf and had even played St Andrews. He was buried in his full formal kilt, which he wore to ALL our Christmas parties and other fun events, even to church occasionally.

Part of the service included a bagpiper in the courtyard of our church, and he was playing 'Scotland the Brave' as we exited the church over to the reception hall.

He also played "Amazing Grace", 'Loch Lomond", "Black Watch March' and other well known pieces; he played for about an hour. The attendees busied themselves melting into little pools of tears. Seriously we were all hugging one another and weeping, over that wild wonderful and totally sentimental sound.

John would have loved it.
