I wonder whether it's a question of genetics or upbringing that makes a person identify with their ethnicity. I wasn't raised in any particular way, with any particular traditions, but I definitely feel one dominant cultural contact. I've only been once, but the sights and sounds of Scotland and its culture sets me on fire. Always have. Bagpipes?

Having seen you down a huge glass of beer and dance around many a fire with many a drum circle, I'm not sure you're missing out on the whole German or Cherokee thing, either. They all love their green hills, Scotland just has such a strange sound about its music. I'm pretty sure it takes a Scotsman to appreciate a bagpipe, and that could totally be inner ear construction or something. I love the bagpipe just cause it's a brilliant solution to the odd problem of how can I keep playing a wind instrument even though I have to breathe? Circular breathing? F-that. Also, I've invented the pipe, what do I do if nobody wants to play harmony with me? Play two pipes with my feet? No way.
