Bagpipe heavy metal. Who would have thunk? But that got me thinking, who else? Educated guess paid off: AC/DC used bagpipes in β€œIt’s a Long Way to the Top” and Jethro Tull on War Child. But neither had the raw hard rock bagpipe solo of Ally the Piper. Awesome.

Michael! You’re right. I hadn’t thought of those two! I’m going to listen to those right now. And for sure, Ally the Piper just blew me away! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Bagpipes are so good I get chills every time I hear them Susan. Live bagpipes are amazing too. Good stuff ❀️!

I posted this to another account that I follow every day:

I’ve had to cancel all but one of my subscriptions. 😒

Great playlist today! Geoff kills it again. I've heard that Jeff Merkley tune on "Inside Blues", a Sunday evening show on WCBE. The pipes! That puts a smile on this Irishman's face. There are a lot of Celtic rock bands that use the pipes in their music. Loved The Warning! Quite an evolution! The last segment is "Moment of Truth" music. Have a great day!πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜˜

Cool! WCBE…I’ll need to find that! I had to include The Warning. I just love them! HUGS and have a good week. ❀️❀️

So great you found Ally the Piper. Pip[es still chill my backbone (heritage, I assume.) For some it would be a sound made from Hell, but I think she should add a banjo. She is the real deal!!

I had NO IDEA they could sound like that! My friend Geoff always steers me in the right direction. πŸ˜‚ She’s just wonderful and a lot of fun. Find more of her on YouTube! And thanks!!

The bagpipe lady has got some serious art direction going on there.
