I'm a Canadian from the west coast and I was shocked to hear about this tragedy. I thank you for dedicating this to the Nova Scotians who lost their lives to this senseless tragedy. I also play the pipes, even though my background is not Scottish.

This year on Anzac day I layed down flowers at a memorial in full Australian Navy Cadet formal gear with my divisional officer, The piper began to play this song and I instantly begun to cry.

[@OksanaBrys]

I'm in love with the way you play. I've never heard bagpipe music performed your way: so confident, authentic, romantic and deeply emotional. What's more, I've basically heard several bagpipes playing the same melody, but your performances embrace several melody variations played simultaniously and well harmonized. This is outstanding!

[@officer_sahib]

I am also a little Bagpiper, and I am your highly fan, and I am learning from you.

[@markdagostino9666]

My friend was a firefighter and died while trying to save others. They played this at his funeral. I’m a tough old bird but the tears flow. Thank you for sharing your great gift.

I'm from Nova Scotia. The gunman was shot down by RCMP less than 1 km from my sister's home. He drove right by her house to the Irving Bigstop. My , then 4 yr old, nephew often played outside. When I think about how horribly close we came that day to losing him, I'm filled with both gratitude and fear. Thank you for your beautiful tribute, it's absolutely lovely 💙🤍💙🤍💙

[@GregoryH-b7t]

The "Pipes" can convey many things. Among which are celebration, joy, or pride in one's heritage. But the mournful tune of "Amazing Grace"; brings to full display the sadness of lives cut short all too soon.

My grandmother ( on my moms side so her fathers mother) love’s amazing Grace, even had a bagpiper play it at her funeral, RIP Lois Farmer Kime November 1st, 1929 - November 28th, 2021, I and the rest of your family miss you dearly, I still cry for her. She died after a doctor gave her the wrong dose of her medicine and died in the back of a EMS. Edit: we have a picture of her on our fridge and I’m playing this for her with tears still in my eyes. And she was staring to get Alzheimers ( not really bad) and I think the lord called her home cause he didn’t want her to suffer. Also she did still remember all of us so that should tell you how bad she had Alzheimer’s ( so not to terribly but she would forget to eat). And a word of advice; spend time with the people you love especially grandparents cause one day they will depart this world and you’ll miss your chance to be with them, I still saw her when we had thanksgiving together with my moms side of the family.

[@janetmoran9202]

Such truly beautiful piping!, my tears are rolling down my cheeks, happens every time, but your playing is wonderful. Scenery as always stunning and such lovely shots of those folks. Yes, they are gone for now but they are resting in peace, and here’s the thing, they will be back.
