Someone in New York...
is playing bagpipe.
I'm on the 9th floor on one of the busiest streets in NYC, all windows are closed, yet I can hear it. Half an hour of my life spent listening to quasi B-flat and what sounded like a giraffe being molested.
I thought drummers were annoying and loud...

A friend of mine plays snare in the Atlanta Pipe Band. He's my housemate's son and I've known him for 30 years.
I actually like the stuff they play.

Bagpipes - The cure for Rap.
Well, how many rappers have you heard gettin' jiggy over some bagpipes?
(I sincerely hope I did not just invent a new "artform"...)
(I sincerely hope I can rid myself of the mental image of several sweaty guys in parkas and kilts surrounded by a posse of Highland dancers...)

Luck of the Irish brings bagpiper and Jamaican rap artist together for 'The Sound of the Bagpipe' BY PATRICE O'SHAUGHNESSY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Wednesday, March 09, 2011 An Irish bagpiper and a Jamaican hip-hop artist seem an unlikely duo, but they've collaborated on a music video of reels and reggae filmed on the Emerald Isle. Bronxites Brian McGuire, a banker by day and a piper with NY Metro Pipe Band and Rally Bop, who mixes rap and hard-charging reggae, made "The Sound of the Bagpipe" after a Harlem-born music producer brought them together. McGuire, 31, was having a drink in the Hudson Hotel bar last fall when he met Will Roberson, an independent producer whose clients range from French hip-hop group KDD to New Age artist Jean Michel Jarre and Jose Feliciano.

Reminds me of the time I was at the Key West Sunset Pier (at sunset) where different street performers all gather to get a few bucks of change from the tourists like me. Nice event. Guitar players, singers, jugglers, etc. One time a bagpipe player showed up in full dress kilts. While bagpipes are a novelty to me and I enjoy them for the novelty, the other performers that evening were a bit irritated. Bagpipes can be loud, and trying to sing over them was not very doable.
On the other hand, bagpipes during a funeral march is a very stunning tribute. Hard not to have a tear come to your eyes.

Bagpipes are far more musical than Crap Rap.

We saw a lady playing koto in the subway here last year - it was incredible. Plus, I've always had a thing for traditional oriental music, and I had heard recordings countless times but to get to see someone play the instrument live was something else. Wish we get to hear her again this year, though we haven't managed to so far. That and the two guys playing cymbalom near Plaza Isabella in Madrid are some of the good memories of the last year on the road. Vuvuzelas are a torture instruments, plain and simple. :P

I think the time has come for a bagpipe and accordion band
Some people call me Maurice SPLAT Pro lifetime, ADK 6 core 3.6Ghz with 32 GB RAM, SSD 1TB system drive, 3 3TB regular drives for samples, recordings and misc. Behringer X Touch, UAD Apollo Quad. 2 UAD2 Quads PCI (i think - inside the box whatever that is), Console 1. More guitars (40??) and synths (hard and soft) than talent. Zendrum!!!

Sorry, Craig. The house band is still Air Supply. On Thursdays, it's Open Vuvuzela night, though.
