There have been many a song penned by many a writer. I cannot listen to Our National Anthem without a silent tear escaping. I mostly listen to country, but "Silver Wings" has always been among my favorites, RIP Merle: you gave us all you had. Johnny Cash "This Ragged Flag" speaks for itself. Who hasn't heard "Green Berets" and been moved? Newer is David Ball's "Private Malone."There are plenty more but at the moment I have a bit of brain fog so I am asking you. Any decade, any genre. If you have a reason, include it. Some days I just want to get lost in the music. Music Heals.

That performance was part of the whole Riverdance deal, Ma'am.
Uileann pipes are one of my very favorite instruments.

I saw the 20th Anniversary Show earlier this year and that was unforgettable.

Maj Kim Patterson - That's awesome, Ma'am. Was Davy Spillane there? When I retire I want to learn those Uilleann pipes. There's nothing else that sounds like that.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "Garry Owen" get me going.

So if I were to respond with "Baby Got Back" would you think less of me?
A whole LOT less of me you say. Hmm...
j/k




I always thought "Amazing Grace", particularly when done as a bagpipe instrumental was rather moving.

Oh..."SGT MacKenzie" from the We Were Soldiers soundtrack is quite powerful.
