Ross OC Jennings shares how growing up in China shaped his identity, curiosity and passion for travel, which he eventually combined with his Scottish heritage to pursue an audacious global bagpiping quest. He tells stories of a tense police encounter in Tunisia that took an unexpected turn, playing on the Yamuna River in front of the Taj Mahal, performing for Bhutanese royalty, piping beside an erupting volcano in Guatemala, playing atop the Burj Khalifa, and even performing at 35,000 feet on a commercial flight. He also reflects on the surprising global history of the bagpipes, cultural identity, respectful travel, and the extraordinary ways music can break down barriers between people.
