Scotland the Brave & Garryowen by Larry Creviston, Bag Piper

I met Larry in the No Name City Campgrounds next to the Black Hills National Cemetery, East side of Sturgis, South Dakota during the 2008 Sturgis Bikers Rally.
Scotland the Brave is also the authorized pipe band march of The British Columbia Dragoons of the Canadian Forces and is played during the Pass in Review at Friday parades at The Citadel. In 2006, it was adopted as the regimental quick march of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Garryowen, Ireland town close to King John's Castle. Irish folk song played in many a battle. A lot of brave soldiers have met their final doom before, during and after this instrumental was, had been and played. This was the most feared song to be heard and proudly played by both Scotts, Irish...I almost forgot...Gen/Col Custer in the 7th Calvary in the 1860's America. Custer used this song for his 7th Calvary to fight...hmmma lottsa folks died while this song plyed. Never scared us Texans though...heh, heh, or is it LOL or ROL. Most of us Texans were either Irish or Scottish
Enjoy folks,

Travis.

The 7th Cavalry was entrapped the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. The 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers rescued the 7th Cavalry.

Read the novel, Rescue at Pine ridge, the story of the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the Buffalo Soldiers, and visit website; rescue at pine ridge. com. The novel embodies Native Americans, Outlaws and Buffalo Soldiers, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approach USA. Story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism and gallantry.

@poshportia62 Hello Posh;

I've read and saw a lot of movies about Custer. He was in West Point when the war broke out. He even had a slave or two. He chose to fight for the North and after a time he became hard as nails when it came to having any humanity. He did wipe out a lot of Indian camps under the orders of ole' honest abe. He showed no mercy. When the Indians got to him they showed no mercy either ;>}. The Indians here in South Dakota are still at odds with a town here named after him.

It makes my heart weep that Custer dishonored the pipes and all they stand for by playing them as he rode into battle. The pipes are meant to inspire heroes not cowards who kill women, children and old men.

[Travisab1]

@janegael You got a point there Jane. Several tribes of Indians were a bit unhappy with his politics too. They managed to do what my Southern ancestors were unable to do.

You can believe this...The Bag Pipes have saved the lives of many a man...on both sides of the wars they've been played in. Those enemies that chose not to face the fighters behind those pipes and those who followed the the Bag Piper with everything from picks and shovels to the latest fire power known to mankind. Just a reminder.

Rob;

If you liked that you should visit my last recording of Larry in full dress uniform paying a tribute to both our fallen hero's and living Veteran's at the Black Hills National Cemetary less than a mile from where I live. I can hear the TAP's played every night there from here. You can watch that video here on Youtube at "Black Hills Nat Cemetery Tribute.mp4 Broadcast: Public ". Glad you were moved by the bagpipes played by Larry Creciston.

I´m spanish, but when I hear a highland bagpipe my heart turns scottish. It is a cuestion of human sensibility, not of flags or competition. Thanks for de video and good luck.

@janegael You have seen too many movies. Custer got a terribly undeserved bad rap. He actually only had two major battles in the Indian Wars and at Washita gave the command not to shoot women and children. Most of the killing there was done by Osage Scouts. He is an American hero, that has been blackballed unfairly.

Excellent

[NobleKorhedron]

Errrm, wrong! Sorry to inform you Garryowen is now part of Limerick city!! :-(

[barnstormer66]

@johnnyork Being Spanish you might like Galician Pipes! Some of the Celts moved through Northern Spain in ancient times on their way to Ireland & Scotland and left heritage on the way! ;)
