LOL!!! Thats fantastic Jose!!
I burst out laughing reading that , my wife came in to see what was up!
Funny, I'm in Apache country right now (just north of Sonora, Mexico in Douglas, AZ) and last night I was watching "Braveheart", which coincidentally came on TV while I studying more on Scottish history.

Thanks so much for that!

All the best,
Jim

I FOUND A SITE WITH THE HISTORY OF THE BAGPIPE www.music.iastate.edu/antiqua/bagpipe.htm

I HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY GROUP OTHER THAN THE HIGHLANDERS USING THE PIPES, BUT ITS HISTORY GOES WAY BACK THEY EVEN SAID NERO COULD PLAY ONE BUT IT GOES WAY BACK BEFORE THAT. I HOPE THE LINK WORKS IF NOT SEARCH FOR BAGPIPE AND LOOK FOR IT THERE, IT IS THE ONE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BAGPIPES. THE LINK WORKS YEA!!
