We had a rehearsal in the afternoon just beforehand. And that went really well. He was real professional gentleman to work with. All the kids were very excited. I think some of them didn’t really know who he was. I had to explain “you know, a band called The Beatles”. I think their parents were more excited than they were actually. […] And you know, I’ve got Paul McCartney who thanked me for being a piper and eventually a bagpipe teacher because I heard Mull Of Kintyre on the radio as a kid… I was about eight years old… And that’s why I decided to learn the bagpipes. So it’s an amazing experience to come full circle and to play with him on stage, that song.
