Oh yeah, point a bugle at your neighbor while you're at it. Run that puppy through the Marshall as well.

Bloody neighbors...with their cook-outs and bloomers on the clothesline. Agnes eve stopped sunbathing nude.

BTW there is an instant ban for any member posting recordings of bagpipes. It's a new rule that I have just made up.

when I was a kid there was a local bagpipe and drum band - they used to practise a couple of nights a week down in the local school hall -gawwwd it sounded as tho' there were a coven of banshees in the hall
when they would be marching in the local town parades etc -they were all fairly on in life
I remember at one parade one of the local old wits said -"will yis look at those poor 'kfrs-whey are pumping air like mad -through the bagpipes into their lungs to help keep them marching "

There was a sad case in our town many years ago-
a courting couple ;Dalright "walking out together" down along the local beach cliffs
they heard this horrible wailing mournful sound
scared out of their grit they were -but decided to see where the horrible sound was coming from
they found this poor old set of bagpipes lying at the edge of the water
it was in an awful state --
it seems -after the medical examiners report was released that the bagpipes had been
1-stabbed 20 times in the bag
2-blasted with a double barrel shotgun
3-thrown off the cliff into the sea
worse was to come -

it appears that it was floating in the bay in a semi-unconscious state when it was attacked by a group of jolly roger pirate squids and really given a terrible time -by one and all-and then according to the report
was then dumped back on the beach
now isn't that a "lamentable" story

Reasonable!

Thanks for the seasoning video ORH, that 's a great start. I do think I need to find a local bagpiper (there just happens to be one that advertises his services on craigslist) to check them out and give me a hand.
My goal is actually to learn to play the theme from Star Wars.

I am excited about upsetting my neighbors!

Seems there are some pretty strong feelings bubbling up to the surface here, you all should say how you really feel!
Rock On!
