Here’s a link to a story in the Washington Post about bagpiper Bill Millin, aka “The Mad Piper,” who died last week. His story is quite remarkable and showcases music’s powerful ability to unite, inspire and comfort.

Below is a video of a group called the Red Hot Chilli Pipers who describe themselves as “bagpipers who rock.” They performed last Friday at the Milwaukee Irish Festival. According to people who attended the concert, they dedicated this song to the memory of Bill Millin.
