Tired of playing “Amazing Grace” at every event, William McTavish and the boys replace it with another Christian masterpiece: “Butterfly Kisses” by Bob Carlisle.

    This is (and I am as serious as a Calvinist watching Free Willy 2) one of the funniest things I have seen all year! I had a MIRTHquake that registered 10 on the Richter scale! It gets my vote for “Best Photo Joke” on the internet. Thanks for making me spill hot coffee on my lower extremities.

    “…spill hot coffee on my lower extremities.”

    Quick, find a lawyer! I am sure that he/she can get you a multi-million dollar settlement.

    Quite a “doozie” I must say! Although one may think that there would be some “rock” music performed on bagpipes! Being that more churches are into Christian “Rock” Music.

    A couple of those guys have daughters that recently got married. Do you have any idea how hard it is to play Butterfly Kisses on the bagpipes while you’re sobbing?

    I for one am glad the boys in plaid picked that song instead of the Emerging Church’s top pick: “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by U2.

    You know what would be awesome? If there was a cd with “Be Thou My Vision” being played with bagpipes, pounding drums, and a men’s chorus. That would be cool. But no such thing exists, that I can find.

    I can’t even imagine what “butterfly kisses” would sound like on bagpipes. Funny concept though.

    I hear what you’re saying, AT. I would love to find a really good recording of cutting-edge bagpipers playing new arrangements of some of the classic Christian hymns. If it was done right, it could be amazing.

    I heard that Barry McGuire is starting out his new “Bagpipes a’Callin’” ministry with his old hit, “Cosmic Cowboy”.

    And they were waiting for the Dixieland Jazz Band to perform hymns at their church following the Bagpipe Band. We can only hope that “WHen THe Saints Go Marching In” could be performed on bagpipes…
