As part of New York’s plans to commemorate the events of 9/11, five groups of bagpipers (one from each of the city’s five borroughs) will converge at Ground Zero. I don’t know what they’ll be playing, but odds are good that it will be Amazing Grace. Everytime I hear Amazing Grace played on bagpipes, it makes me cry.
It will be nice a couple of weeks later, to go to the Alabama Highland Games, and hear some more cheerful tunes.
