This song appears on the DVD/Video Instrument of War: Ladies from Hell

I hear the voice, I hear the war

I hear the sound, on a distant shores

I feel the spirit, of yesterday

I touch the past, when the Piper’s play.

The pipes get played, for you and me

They kept on saying, we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

The piobrach hears, its deadly cry

On some will live and some will die

And though they fought so far away

I feel the presence when the pipers play

The pipes kept playing, for you and me

They kept on saying, we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

It speaks of love, I have lost

Its speaks of my eternal cost

It speaks the price I refused to pay

Of lives remembered, when the Pipers play

We will remember when the pipers play

Pipes Playing

The pipes kept playing, for you and me

They kept on saying we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

The pipes kept playing, for you and me

They kept on saying we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

      Innisfil Pipes and Drums

        The idea to form our band in Innisfil occurred at the A.N.A.F. (Army, Navy, Air Force) Club in Barrie, Ontario on a Saturday afternoon in September, 1977, after their resident band had just finished their practice. The manager of this fairly new band approached Joe McKeown and myself and asked if we could try and get some people from Innisfil Township to join his Barrie and District Pipe & Drum Band (now disbanded). After he left us, Joe said in his stubborn Irish manner, “we will form our own band”. I had had some experience in Scotland, as a fifteen year old cadet in the Cameronian Scottish Rifles, trying to learn the pipes, but like so many others, could not stay the course. I mentioned this to Joe, but he was determined and I said I would go along with him. Joe suggested that I get back to the pipes, as well as become the Equipment Manager, while he would become the Manager and also play the bass drum. Joe got in touch with Georgina Mitchell from the Scope Newspaper and told her that the band needed help. In November 1977, she announced the formation of the band and printed our Executive and our positions to the public. I then contacted Ewan Brown, a piper from Alcona, and a member of a Scout group, who came to my house and gave me lessons and I also later went to Paul McKenzie of the Newmarket Pipe Band.
