This is a surprisingly difficult piece. I hope I got the subtle nuances correct.
I perform all my music under the stage name Hopalong Ginsberg. After listening to this piece you'll understand why.
For a free MP3 download of my cover of "4'33''," click here.
Special thanks to Freeper a fool in paradise for suggesting that I cover this composition.

If you have not already recorded a bagpipe version of “My Sharona” by The Knack, then please consider doing so.
Thank you.

It would go over well in the academic community.

I hope you made a video of the performance so we can appreciate the great lengths you went to in performing this epic piece...

Am I the only one that has no sound for this?

I hope I do - I could use the publicity, and you can’t get blood from a turnip.

Post it.

I’ll give it some thought - the arrangement could be a little challenging (no joke).

No live video, alas, but I think that the conceptual video I made really captures the essence of the piece.

I'll bet.
I've heard someone play it on the accordion, but that’d be a snap compared to trying to arrange it for bagpipes.

It wouldn’t be impossible, but it would take some research and some skull-sweat. Seriously, I’ll give it some thought.

That reminds me of a couple I know- He was a Jewish Lawyer and she was Chinese.
They named their daughter So Soo Mi.

Better reboot, check your sound card driver, and run a full virus scan. (But first, Google the title of the piece.)

I learned to play it backwards on three instruments, including a broken glockenspiel.
