Yesterday, I had the opportunity to play at a funeral service near
Nashville where the ashes where scattered. This is the first time that I
have played at this type of service in a long time and I found myself
wondering why. The park where the funeral took place was beautiful with a
large lake and a beautiful tree under which the service took place. I
took up a position down the shoreline and played highland cathedral and
Danny boy on the bagpipes before the service started. Then amazing grace
when the ashed where being poured into the lake. It was a very moving
scene.
Generally, these types of services are very simple and the bagpipes
add so much. Once again, the opportunity to add such a moving and unique
element to a service like this is always an honor for me. I hope to
have the opportunity to play at more services like these.
