Movie of the Week: Rufus Harley, Pipes of Peace (2008)

A couple of months back, I was looking through a friend's record collection, and came upon an album that immediately caught my attention: Scotch & Soul by one Rufus Harley on Atlantic Records (1966). I had never heard of this musician before, and I thought, how could you NOT want to check out an album with a black man, dressed in a kilt, playing bagpipes for Atlantic Records in the mid-sixties? Harley, who passed away in 2006, thankfully was remembered by the folks who put together this nice documentary from 2008.
