For Highland Lakes bagpiper Lorinda Peters, the music she elicits from an instrument the size of her torso inspires her to continue learning, playing, and improving.
“There’s just something amazing about bagpipe music,” Peters said. “You don’t just hear it, you feel it through your entire body.”
If you’ve attended a Marble Falls Rotary Club Veterans Day or 9/11 event in the past several years, you’ve probably heard Peters play a tune the word bagpipers often use for songs. It was the haunting beauty of those tunes that first drew Peters to the instrument, which she took up in 2011 when she and her husband, Jay, lived in Iowa.
