William Barr was a piping adjudicator in the 90s. I used to play for him regularly as a beginner kid. He was always friendly. You have to be absolutely top be an adjudicator.

@@sheilawhite7044 Can you be specific in your criticisms about Barr? It has been my experience that people who make general critical pronouncements as you have done usually cannot back up their opinion when called to do so. Can you? I would agree that this country is in a constitutional crisis. However, I believe that crisis started in 2008 under the Obama administration and the goons he put in charge of the various executive branch agencies. Did you not have a problem with the Obama administration using the IRS, DOJ and FBI to undermine and punish his political opponents? Did you have a problem with the FBI spying on an opposition political campaign, falsifying warrants to the FISA court in order to do so? Do you have a problem with law enforcement and intelligence agencies orchestrating an attempted coup against a legitimately elected President? You see, I would be against that no matter which party was behind it because America is more important than any political party. I hope you would be against it too. I'm not sure why you are against AG Barr's investigation into this unconstitutional and lawless behavior on the part of the previous administration and its holdovers. By the way, my function is to call out people who make claims that are unsupported by the facts.
I don't agree with many of his ideas, but I definitely agree with his playing. That is NOT an easy instrument to play.
As a Scot American THAT has totally won my respect. That wasn't faked, it was spot on.

@@lindawarwick8643 much of Scotland's population was forcibly removed to North America in the tenant clearances of the mid 19th century (similarly the Irish too). Those familes that remained either supported the lairds new goals fully, or had already moved to the cities. The lairds were British UK supporters to the core, kept all the land to themselves, so the politics that evolved after 1855 and in the 20th century is quite different than Scotland before 1840 and quite different to the goals of Scots now in America.

I often wonder if the people in the UK and Ireland know how often the Pipes are played and enjoyed in the US. I’m in Texas and have friends of Scottish ancestry who wear their kilts to special occasions.
Its widely understood here in Ireland that anyone who plays the bagpipes is fundamentally sound, buys their round, and can be forgiven almost any misdeed. The man is a legend.
