[Dixielandjazz] Bagpipes in Jazz

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

I am slightly off-topic but plenty curious.  Funeral in St. Louis  yesterday 
for St. Louis policeman killed in line of duty and the sound of  bagpipes 
reminded me.  Bagpiping traditional here in mourning firemen and  policemen.  Is 
that traditional in other locales as well?  Any  explanations why?
