![]() On the one hand, that high-minded bear-feather-bonneted idea of a pipe band keeps the idea of the bagpipe at a grand level. Well, we know that the idea of piping and pipe bands as viewed by the average Joe or Shaniqua, is just not that old, and yet, the general public’s perception is clearly not reflective of reality.ĭoes it matter? I’m not sure. He’d always thought of the whole pipe band thing as ancient, at least medieval-ish (note: for him, pipers and pipe bands are pretty much the same thing - they fit in the same cultural box to his way of thinking). Drum major, kilts, big sounds - and - that “song”: neer-neer, neer-neer-neer, neer-neer - Scotland the Brave.Īdam R was genuinely surprised.

He’s a young first generation Canadian - and - bonus - he loves the music of the pipes the first sounding of chanter and drones apparently prompts, without fail, a (sober) tear. His folks emigrated from Scotland he spent an away year at Glasgow University he knew a Glasgow Friday night. Still, I thought Adam R’s question a good one. For instance, a lot of people outside of family and hardcore piping types think what I do (talking about bagpipes now) is at best wildly eccentric and at worst, just crazy, if not a little bit sad. You might think that a weird sort of query, especially from a “non-piping” person, one from a non-piping workplace - which is mine.
