Yesterday I was sitting here at work and I heard bagpipes. I looked out the window and down across the street were a bunch of bagpipe players. (What is a group of bagpipe players called? A bevy of bagpipers? A pride of pipers? A murder of musicians?)
There were here for an event on campus. They were just warming up at that point but I went outside and listened to them play Amazing Grace, and then watched them at the event on my lunch break.
It was very nice.
