I will need at least one song to "pipe in the Haggis" and I am really not sure what other tunes or songs to play at a Burns dinner. Advice is highly sought. If I can get some recommendations of CDs by this weekend, I should be able to order them on line, and maybe, just maybe get them here in time.

"A Man's a Man for a' that" or "Scots Wha Hae" would be my recommendations for pipe tunes to pipe the Haggis in. Both are relatively easy to find on various pipe band CD's.

As far as other music for a Burns Supper, a good friend of mine, Alex Sutherland, is a Scottish singer and will be performing tomorrow night at our Burns Supper. I would be happy to speak to him for you about ordering one of his CD's:
