"Amazing Grace" - an instrumental faux-bagpipes/rock music cover, by Yours Truly [vanity]
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 7/23/15 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 07/23/2015 8:19:25 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows

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.

For a free MP3 download of my cover of "Amazing Grace," click here or here.

Thanks! I’m actually playing a keyboard rather than the bagpipes (my hands are too small for the pipes), but I absolutely love the pipes.

Love the cats ... the last one playing the bagpipes looks like a cat I used to have. Aside from being a really good cat (excellent mouser in the barn) & an all around fine fellow, I’m sure he would have been one to play the bagpipes if he’d had the opportunity.

Scotch is a drink.

Scottish is the people.

Scottish folds are the cats.
