I learned something today. Thanks @"gordi" !!
There, for awhile, on my last tour in Yongsan, we had a young lad who would pace the post playing his pipes. He was eventually joined by a drummer. They played after dark ... but, not too late. To my knowledge no one ever complained. If they did ... they were ignored. Left a memory, and a favorable one.
No worries! @"Snarl" (Was it that Simple Minds are Scottish?)
BTW - Did you post The Isle of Cumbrae Pipe Band deliberately for me???
They are from my wee Holiday Isle!!! (But playing on the mainland in that clip!!)
THANK YOU!

Here's the last Scottish one for now.
Sorry for hogging the thread....
No way, some great ones there, I had no idea Simple Minds were Scottish!

We live each day like there's nothing to lose
But a man has needs and that need is booze
They say all the best things in life are free
So give all your beer and your rum to me
Rogue enough for me!! 
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

I'm just an aging drummer boy and in the wars I used to play
And I've called the tune to many a torching session
Now they say I am a war criminal and I'm fading away
Father please hear my confession
I have legalized robbery, called it belief
I have run with the money, I have hid like a thief
Rewritten history with my armies of my crooks
Invented memories, I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
The man's too big, the man's too strong
Well I have tried to be meek and I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman and I sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls, that have made me alone
Striven for peace, which I never have known
And I can still hear his laughter and I can still hear his song
The man's too big, the man's too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard and they all did hear him say
You always was a judas but I got you anyway
You may have got your silver but I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds and I gave them to your wife
Oh father please help me for I have done wrong
The man's too big, the man's too strong

You know, every now and then - and it doesn't happen very often - a fine, blind, red rage will climb up on my shoulders, grab my ears for reins, and send me off into God only knows where, Now, this is weird, but when that occurs, the ONLY thing that has a hope at all of keeping me from going utterly, entirely, irrevocably, and with abandon postal on the object(s) of that rage is this song. I have no idea why.
here's three versions of it. Pick the one you prefer:
King Harvest version (the original) -
Toploader version:
Jubel version -
