Burn's Night



So as many of you know Soren is a bagpiper-and quite good if I might add.  They debuted there Lewiston pipes and drums band at Burn's Night last Saturday.  If you are asking yourself what is Burn's night all about let me fill you in. Robert Burn's was poet and Writer from Scotland in 1759-1796 also known as Scotland's favorite son. After this death he was regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and after his death became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism.  His life and work has been celebrated for centuries which include Auld lang Syne (sung on New Years) and many other songs and poems.
