Bagpiper
Those people who wanted a break from rock at the world’s most celebrated rock concert could listen to a bagpiper, Duncan Robertson. Robertson played yesterday among the trailers dotting Kennedy Stadium as the Beach Boys were singing out to 90,000 people. Wearing a red-and-black kilt, Robertson said, “I am the family piper to the Hard Rock Cafe, - which has opened a restaurant for the day here, and I play at all their openings.”
“I’m known as the ‘world family piper.’ I’ve been playing 25 years, ever since I came to the United States from Dundee, Scotland. I can play 350 tunes and I’m hoping to get on stage sometime tonight
