I once played a gig on drums (snare) with a San Jose CA area OKOM band, 
for the Scottish Rites folks.  We were the after dinner 
"entertainment".  Toward the end, the guy in charge of the SR said one 
of the "brothers" would like to sit in on bagpipes, and could we play 
"Saints".  Various band members rolled their eyes, but said OK.  So we 
launched into Saints.  Surprisingly, the guy swung pretty good on the 
bagpipes.  That was our last number, then they chased us out before the 
rituals began.
