NYC

One surprising thing that I will miss about New York City is the bagpipes. There is an annual series of parades that are held (in conjunction with all of the street fairs) in NYC each year on the weekends. A distinctive and distinguishing sound that marks these processionals is the sound of the bagpipers. Bagpipes are a bittersweet instrument. They make a beautiful sound, but the sound is beautiful only because it is so sad.
