If It's Not Scottish, It's Crap!

For my money, Amazing Grace is the most beautiful song ever composed. If you don't get chills when you sing the last verse of that song you have a wire loose. And when it is played by a pipe band, well few things in this life are more uplifting to me. I'm secure enough in my manhood to admit that I easily tear up to the sound of Amazing Grace on the pipes.

Well kids, I've found what I think is absolutely the most gorgeous rendering of the song. It is performed by the U.S. Air Force Reserve Band and I have never heard a better version. Click on the "for Heroes proved" album with the picture of the F-16 and select the "Amazing Grace" track. It is phenomenal.

If you are into pipe bands yu can also check out their site for a bevy of excellent selections.


Enjoy!
