A few days ago I discovered that, with a bit of tweaking, GarageBand could do a very credible imitation of a Great Highland Bagpipe. How could I *not* cover this song?

I record and publish my music under the pen name Hopalong Ginsberg. Normally, this is to protect my privacy. In this case, it's to protect me from enraged Scots.

No lyrics in this one, for obvious reasons.

[Lurker]

For later.

The first time I heard Grace on bagpipes I was instantly convinced that it was surely written for pipes. I found out later that it was not but it surely sounds best on pipes.

which again makes me wonder how one knows if the pipes are out of tune ?

[Slings and Arrows]

Agreed!

Joke #1: Bagpipers spend 75% of their time tuning and 25% of their time playing out of tune.

Joke #2:
Q. What’s the definition of a minor second?
A. Two bagpipers playing in unison.

I like it!!! Especially your picture of the kitty.

[caww]

That’s some pretty fancy finger work on those pipes!

[Slings and Arrows]

He is, but he should really be a Scotch Fold. ;^)

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks!

[Ray76]

Another good one!

[LucyT]

Hopalong did it again!

Thanks, Slings and Arrows.

Q. Why do bagpipers walk around while playing bagpipes?

A. They're trying to get away from the noise.
