The Pipes and Drums of Her Majesty's Something...

**Mr. MacDougall** · 15th November 07, 06:11 PM

When I was but a wee bairn, my mother had a phonograph album of bagpipe music, the title of which, I think, was something about the Pipes and Drums of Her Majesty's Black Watch. However, I can't seem to find this in the usual searches... Amazon, dogpile, etc.

When we were at the Tucson highland games a couple of weeks ago, my mother mentioned that she'd always loved the way "Amazing Grace" was played on this album, with a lone piper at the beginning, and one at the end, but with the whole band joining in for the body of the song. She further mentioned that she's been unable to find that song played that way by any other band.

So I'm wondering... can anyone help me find this album in a modern format? Can anyone even tell me if I've got the right title that I'm looking for? Thanks in advance!

I think you might be looking for

Amazing Grace
The Pipes and Drums and Military Band
of the
Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

I have the CD so I know its out there however it is the entire band throughout.

I have an album that was my dad's.

Amazing Grace
The Pipes & Drums & Military Band of the Regimental Brigade of Scotland

I don't have a record player, so I can't listen to it, but if I remember correctly from when I was but a wee lad, Amazing Grace starts with a lone piper.

My band pays it that way, but we don't have a recording...yet. But I'm e-mailing you two recordings. One is by the Gordon Highlanders, the other is by the Beeston Pipe Band.

Is that the version Scotty "played" at Spock's funeral?

If the cover has a lone piper playing in the mist, I had that one - It's great and I wish I could find it in CD.
