Kudos to Friday’s bagpipe player

Editor,

I just have to compliment the bagpipe player that was on the TSC patio Friday afternoon. It has been a long time since I have heard a good player who has not been in a professional venue. I also appreciate the courage it took for him to wear a full kilt uniform. I was a little embarassed for our university when I heard someone yell at him to stop playing. To that person, open up your ears and listen to the unique beauty of bagpipe music. It may not be what you appreciate, but keep your comments to yourself so that others may hear. The haunting melodies of the bagpipe are reminiscent of foggy highlands and of who we are as Aggies – WE ARE SCOTSMEN. So zip the unappreciative lip, and I say kudos to the young bagpiper. You were awesome.
