Co-worker: Hey, did you watch Outlander last night?
DJ Caterina: Yes! That show really brings the book to life!
Co-worker: So what do you think about what happened to Jamie when he was in hiding…
DJ Caterina: [interrupts] Oh! Did you see the last 2 minutes of the show where Claire walked past a man in a park playing “Scotland the Brave” on bagpipes? That made me think of Tommy Conwell…
Co-worker: What doesn’t make you think about Tommy Conwell?!!
[end scene]
For your manic Monday, here is Tommy Conwell and the Little Kings playing “Scotland the Brave” – a track from one of my favorite CD’s, Hi-Ho-Silver! [LLIST Records, 1999]
The arrangement used by the Little Kings is inspired by Rufus Harley, Jr., an American jazz musician known primarily as the first jazz musician to adopt the Scottish great Highland bagpipe as his primary instrument. Hear the original from the album “From Philadelphia to Paris,” Rufus Harley with Georges Arvanitas Trio, released in December 1987.
