I prefer Irish pipes to Scottish. I love the more mellow sound of the Uillean (sp?) pipes as opposed to the bagpipes.

They're MUCH quieter, too! I hadn't seen uillean pipes (I don't know how to spell 'em either!) up close until that festival we went to, but there were lots of people playing them there - you can actually stand right next to a piper without suffering. Highland pipes are LOUD! I enjoy them from a distance, but...

Sorry to hear about the car. Hope it doesn't cost too much to fix.

Highland pipes. Just the thing to get if you want to bother the neighbors.
