Nice one Hans, as soon as I saw the name I was thinking of the song. You are right that lady can warble a bit! Its got me on a trail of a few old songs I haven’t listened to in a while. Strange journey as it started with David Bowie and is currently up to the Red Hot Chilli Pipers (No that’s not a spelling mistake!)
Cheers,
A.

Hans- while it might be a tribute to D.B., it lokks like a killer trout fly, too!

And AlanB- thanks for the link. My son is a piper in the Chicago Fire Dept.Pipe Band. But these guys are a tad more modern!
