| 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.

No lyrics in this one, for obvious reasons.

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.

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.

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.
