I'm not really sure where this is going. It's mostly just me rambling. But has anyone else had this kind of experience? I doubt that the effect the bagpipe and flute music has on me is entirely accidental. I'm sure there's some good reasons for it.
I know what you mean, in particular when I'm around 'live' bagpipe/pipers I feel rather pumped & at times even feel like I need to pick up sword & shield and head off to battle (the warrior blood calling thru the ages???).
I usually save the Mozart for when I'm in heavy traffic on I-5, it calms me down
