Brother Adam Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Are bagpipes not the sweetest instrument ever? I almost decided to invest in everything I would need to learn them until I found out how much it would cost to get a decent instrument and the assecories I would need. But still, how many people do you know that can play bagpipes? not many I'd guess. Can't you just imagine me in a kilt playing the Highland Laddie or the Breas of Lochiel?

homeschoolmom Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Oh, good golly. RussianGirl's boyfriend taught himself how to play the bagpipes... Heaven help us all!!
Thumper Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Actually that picture doesn't leave much to the imagination. Mrs. Brother Adam better hold tight to her man.

They're usually in C sharp and you have to turn all your instruments down to play with them.

Sojourner Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I went to a Scottish pub here when it opened and they had a bunch of bagpipers march through. It was fantastic. Made me want to dance a jig of some sort.
