ahh- love the pipes - listened to a young man who was a master on Cape Breton last fall,

and one of my favorite reenacting memories was getting up early in a foggy camp and hearing them in the distance, slowly a young kilted highlander materialized from the fog and passed by me into the haze once more


for those who do not appreciate them - join the crowd


"Definition of a 'gentleman' - someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but doesn't," - Ronnie Corbett.

"The Irish invented the bagpipes as a joke and gave them to the Scottish, they still haven't found out," - Denis Leary.

"I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made object never equaled the purity of sound achieved by the pig." - Alfred Hitchcock
