Only a rabid Scotchophile (is there such a word?) could call haggis 'food', and the bagpipe a musical instrument.
I grant you, haggis is not a food I would put into my mouth, however, the bagpipes, when played properly can make for beautiful music...speaking as a direct desendent of a Scottish family that made their way thru Ellis Island.
Rabid?????
Come now, is there nothing in your heritage that you will stand up for?
My Dad and Grandfather used to regale the children with music on the accordian. WE loved it and I have VERY fond memories of it!
And yes, hearing "Amazing Grace" played by bagpipers was enough to bring tears to the eyes of the "Ladies From Hell" marching into battle in WWI. Those tartan-kilted Scots whipped the fire out of a LOT of Germans.
But as for accordian music, some of my earliest childhood memories are of Lawrence Welk saying, "An a one, and a two, and three", and then 'Calcutta' would start. Oh, the horror....:)
lol....
Funny, that people think of the Lawrence Welk Show when accordians are brought up. I just think of my dad and Grampa George tearing it up Scottish-style. They were actually pretty good and I'm really mad at my dad for getting rid of my grandfather's accordians. He had three of them and truly loved playing for his grandchildren.
The Rolling Stones wrote a song called, "Hey You, get off of my cloud". The Scots say "Hey McLeod, get off of me yew!"
Get back to me when the sheep issue gets addressed.
Q. Why do Scotsmen walk around when they're playing the bagpipes?
A. They're trying to get away from the noise.
I was thinking of that song when I read this thread, never knew all the words, thanks!!

Bagpipes-(noun)-I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made object never equalled the purity of sound achieved by the pig." -Alfred Hitchcock
Q. How do you get two bagpipes to play a perfect unison?
A. Shoot one.
Aye, you're welcome lad.
lol...
And being from Michigan, you will uderstand the bumpersticker I saw:
"Come to da UP, where the men are men,
and the sheep are scared."
