I remember spending a happy night, fifteen or twenty years ago, coaxing a not-too-shoddy bagpipe sound out of my trusty CZ 101. So much more fun than booting up a sampler.

So, the story is that at Old Dominion University (in Virginia Beach), there is, in residence, one of the world champion pipers. He was forced to emigrate to the US after the folks in his home town threatened to cause bodily damage because he practiced TOO much.
True or not, I like the story. Mark

Or the music producer that asked the drummer if wearing headphones in the studio had affected his hearing.
'I don't wear an earring,' came the reply.

However, he is an excellent piper. He was forced to practice in his parents' automobile with the windows rolled up. This isn't too bad during the winter, but during the summer it is pretty rough!

O.K.
I'll admit to being a bagpipe player. The only one as far as I can see. But I play the Northumbrian pipes. An English, bellows blown, indoor instrument. It has a unique sound, and one of the two best bagpipes. The other being the Irish. And bagpipes have nothing to do with Scotland. They just have the most visible type and best p.r. |

And more Pakistanis play the Highland Pipes than the Northumbrian Pipes.
