The Rogues

My uncle loves going to the Renaissance Festival in Maryland, and he usually goes for one reason, the celtic band The Rogues. They are a combination of sounds, bagpipes, violin, piano, guitar, drum, etc. Some of their songs have lyrics, and some are just them totally rocking out! My uncle and his entourage for his birthday, went from show to show for one whole day at the festival. I believe we went to 4 shows. Each one completely awesome! (and it didn't hurt that the bagpiper was totally cute!) 

But anyways, what I am getting at right now, is that this band, is starting to become one of those bands that I go to when I really need to be picked up. Or I just want to listen to some awesome/different music that instantly puts a smile on my face. Some music that really I am into this summer. I find myself rocking out to the bagpipes and drums in my car as I drive into Baltimore for work! 

There is something about the sound of bagpipes that really hit me, they are so intriguing and fascinating to me, and any man that can play the bagpipes... wow! [hello instant attraction props.] haha. 

So my advice, go on to YouTube and look up The Rogues.
