Bagpipes on the beach, and Sir Paul-- Why not?

The pipe band that suddenly arrives in the middle of this McCartney song was the band from his Scottish village-- it must have been very gratifying for them to get called to do this!

Apparently bagpipes had to play a half note off from the key it was in, and that switch when the bagpipes came in really added to the final product.

I also absolutely love bagpipes.

I would have listened to it but anything to watch and hear with the big red play arrows will not work on my phone anymore.
