November 30 is St. Andrew's Day in Scotland, and for the global Scottish diaspora.
How' bout some silly bagpipe cartoons to celebrate?
A personal note:
Years ago, The Hubby and I attended a jazz festival.
As we walked toward the site of the festival, we encountered the most beautiful bagpipe music.
We guessed that someone was practising in a nearby parking garage, and the music moved my soul unexpectedly.
I began to cry.
Not in sorrow, but like I'd come home; something familiar.
Never discovered the bagpiper, nor the song that was played...nor why there was bagpiping at a jazz festival.
A very unique moment for me.

It's Selfie Sunday!
Henry took up the Sunday Selfie challenge, making sure he included his much-loved toys.
Let's Hop!
There are certainly moments when you hear beautiful music that just strikes the Heartstrings. And looking at Henry, I would say he also strikes the heartstrings.
ReplyDeleteBagpipe music can do that to our Mom too. We loved the 'toons (especially the turkey one!)
ReplyDeleteSome pipers can play wonderful music on them, most of what I have heard has been a dirge. I guess that piece you heard must have had many entranced.
ReplyDeleteGreat selfie, and love your toy zone set up. I hope the staff let you keep them out and dont tidy them away all the time like they do here ;)

I would have loved hearing what you did on there Pipes. I pay full attention to music. I play myself..nope, not the pipes, the guitar, but I am very aware of notes, just sound in general. I like the Pipes too I will say.
ReplyDeleteI find the sound of the pipes very stirring too. Great selfie, Henry!

ReplyDeletepipes are played a lot at funeral services for first responders, especially at the end. I was doing…ok…at dads, until the bagpiper started….then I lost

Music has mystical powers, I think. Thanks for sharing your story and this adorable image of Henry. Hugs, my dear.

ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting story about the bagpiper. Henry takes a fine selfie. XO
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy listening to the pipes.
ReplyDeleteHenry did a fine job on the selfie.
Most excellent Selfie! And if you want to hear some great Blues on the bagpipes, you gotta listen to Gunhild Carling! She is incredible!
