The Irish bagpiper

STEVE07

As a bagpiper, I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man who had no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery in the remote countryside and this man would be the
first to be laid to rest there.



As I was not familiar with the backwoods area, I became lost and being atypical man, did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew who were eating lunch but the hearse was nowhere in sight.



I apologized to the workers for my tardiness and stepped to the side of the open grave where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long but this was the proper thing to do.



The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. I played out my heart and soul.



As I played the workers began to weep. I played and I played like I'd never played before, from Going Home and The Lord is My Shepherd to Flowers of the Forest. I closed the lengthy session with Amazing Grace and walked to my car.



As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, ", I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."
