Why do Scottish people play the bagpipes at major American events?
Hey, it’s just not sad or somber events! People of Scots or Irish decent often ask for a piper for a funeral because it’s part of their heritage. But the pipes are capable of expressing lighheartedness and joy when played in other venues, such as a wedding reception. A good going hornpipe and jig or a strathspey and reel will get toes tapping all over the hall.
