"Jambalaya" - Instrumental country music cover on synth-bagpipes, by Yours Truly
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 9/2/15 | Performed by me (as "Hopalong Ginsberg"); song by Hank Willams

"Jambalaya" is one of the world's greatest songs. What could possibly make it better? Bagpipes!

I record my songs under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. Slings and Arrows was already registered with ASCAP. That's not a joke.

Some of us don’t even need the moonshine! It was a little slower than I’m used to, but nice job!

Perhaps a tad slower than usual. Seemed to work well with the pipes, though, IMO.

You're welcome. The photo shows "The Jambalaya Band."

Never heard of them until searching for a picture.

Outstanding! I love inventive new takes on old standards.
Recently some friends of mine played a blurgrass rendition of The Thrill is Gone (B.B. King) with banjo and fiddles.
This reminded me of that, and like that, is well done, sir!
