Wow.. it has been over a year - so much has happened. But I am not going to bore you with those details.. But what I will tell you that when one has a funeral, and one wants a bagpiper, one should get a good one. Oh was that my outside voice? Oh yes, yes it was.
Picture it. Your loved ones gathered at this solemn occasion and the organist (who was a sub.. but was terrific) playing softly as people file into the church to pay their final respects to the deceased. And then you hear Going Home, from the New World Symphony. Well, he should have just gone home. Seriously. Thank God he was pretty.
The service went on, with a very touching words of remembrance by the grandchildren. I sang some Ave - there was a closing prayer, sending hymn... and then..
BAGPIPES.. oh good Lord.. it was painful. so painful.
Well, at least God is forgiving.
