About an hour after it began the parade comes to an end as a local bagpipe ensemble fills the air with Irish good will.
 
Contrary to general belief, bagpipes didn't originate in Ireland.  In ancient times they played a more ominous role as
instruments for psychological warfare by the Roman legions. Imagine the terror among a village populace as
they discerned the growing sounds of approaching bagpipes--a signal that the town was about to be invaded by
the mightiest army in the world.
 
That sound caused many town defendants to flee their posts, rather than face certain slaughter!
 
End of series.
 
Marshall
