For many years our class of 1959 has hired the Kiltie Band of York, Pennsylvania, to accompany us in the P-rade. I was fortunate to be invited to play my bagpipes with them as they marched at our last reunion. I asked if the band could play any of Princeton’s well known tunes and the answer was no. Returning home to Wisconsin, I transposed to the bagpipes “Going Back to Nassau Hall,” “The Princeton Canon Song,” and “Old Nassau.” I gave these to the band and also sent copies to the Firestone/Mudd music library. I hope they are still there (my thesis was stolen). If there are any pipers who want copies of these tunes, I will gladly send them to you.
