I want to take a minute to share Mom's favorite song, Mull Of Kintyre. Mom was very aware of her Celtic roots, and very proud of them as well. I think Sir Paul McCartney must be proud of his own Scottish roots, as he has cited a lack of a good modern Scots anthem as his inspiration for writing it. Whenever I think of Mom's pride in family, research, and discovery, I think of Mull of Kintyre, as she used to hum or sing it to us sometimes in our childhood. Jacquie and I used to think it was called Mulligan Tire, but what can I say? We were preteen kids.
Let the bagpipes ring!
