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!
