Some pipes + drums to lift the spirits of a band member in Southie
Spreading some love in the neighborhood
The sounds of bagpipes and drums filled the air with “Scotland the Brave” on Monday night in City Point. Southie native and member of the Greater Boston Firefighters Pipes and Drums Michael Casper suffered a stroke a few weeks ago. BFD Ladder 19 was also on hand for the celebration.
Monday night is normally the band’s night to practice, but they decided to play for Casper and his family to welcome him home from rehab.
Neighbors, friends, and family gathered on East Fourth Street between P and Farragut Road to listen and show their support of Casper – who is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.

Love this story ♥️
This is what real Southie is about.
…that was heartbreakingly beautiful.
Go get ‘em, Michael. If prayers are miracles (and I do hold on to that premise, yes I do) you’ll be doing laps around the Sugar Bowl by the time the snow’s gone.
God Bless Ya.

Sounds great…….But what about the dead babies found on Broadway.
