Piper at the Sunset Gates

Andrew McGregor has played the bagpipes for more than two years now. When the coronavirus hit and safer at home initiatives were enacted, he wanted to do something for his neighborhood. Nightly, he goes to a fenced off area in Palisades Park to play ‘Amazing Grace.’ He chose the song, because it captures all the emotion of this uncertain time, he says.

The sun then bids farewell to sunny Southern California, and softly passes through the gates of night.

Short of staying home, masks are your best protection against infecting others.
