A Song of Scotland ~ the first
November 5, 2014 by Avonlea Q. Krueger
There’s music in the air here. You didn’t think it was all imagination, fiction, fantasy, did you now? It’s in the wind as it batters rugged coastlines, whispers over green pastures, whistles through winding streets. It’s in the waves as they crash against the rocky shore, against the ancient harbors of this land of fisher folk. It’s in the breath of livestock as they plod their verdant pastures. It’s in the seagulls’ cries. And somehow through the ages this land, as every land, created its own music. A wealth of hymns, folk, Celtic, pop and bag pipe songs that get your feet tapping and also give your heart a delicious little ache. I’ll share one with you now. VIDEO
From a collection of Scottish tunes given to me by John in the months leading up to our marriage. He knew the power of music in winning a girl’s heart. Like this: Like Loading...
