5. I have two requests at my funeral....
one... is amazing grace on the bagpipes, and the other... a playing of "Blues for Salvador" by Carlos Santana.

Crazy...maybe, I prefer to call it eclectic!

6. Do you know why bagpipe players are always walking when they play?
They're trying to get away from the sound.

11. Funeral, I want them at my wedding
I've been to a few Scottish weddings - they're awesome. I want a piper to announce my arrival (I like to make an entrance.) Then after the ceremony I want pipes for the recessional.
