I snagged this from Alex...

...and like him while I'm not Irish or Scottish either, bigpipe and drum music gets to me, reminding me of something ancient, beyond time, pulling on me in a way that I don't necessairly understand, yet have always felt.
So, I repost.
And what a lovely setting!

I so understand this!
I've long wanted to visit Ireland and Scotland, my ancestors' homelands.

I hope you'll get the chance and soon, to show your kids where your ancestors lived would be amazing.

Thank you, it would!

You should all be transported to Scotland - or to some Irish festival - and be forced to listen to that at least 72 hours!

Any music, I swear, and as much as I need music in my life, would drive me crazy after 72 hours :) I only wish though I could dance to the music at some Irish or Scottish festival, not here in America, but there. You're probably just a little too close to the source like I am with country music which I detest, while my Puerto Rican mother-in-law absolutely loves it. Takes all kinds, yeah?

I love it as well. But I do have Irish blood in me.

Then the music must speak to some ancestral place inside you. Maybe me too because I am part Welsh, which is also Gaelic and pretty much right there in the mix of things :)
