but, if you have to listen to either Neils.....how do you FEEEEEEEELLLLLL.
Ah! A bagpipe man...
She was a riot; she was a school teacher. Her first class was a one room school house in Pennsylvania.
She liked the naughty boys the best. They'd make her laugh inside and warm her heart right up. And it's no surprise, she became their favorite and would listen to her, and learn.
Must have been one of those Kodak moments.
It is a 'she', you know??? lol!
I got mad at my brother, in fact, because he kept turning the volume WAY up, and I'd turn it back down, as my half-siblings (toddlers) were taking a nap...so we go into a fight. My brother was a naughty boy, so gramma got mad at me of course.
Eclectic is good. Polka. Handel. Guns and Roses.
Ummmmm, bagpipe WOMAN...
Younger brother?
You like Guns n Roses sharky????
I'm shocked!
Older brother.
Younger brother was just a pest.
A tattle tale.
: )
Hey. Sumpin wrong with bagipes?
:-)
No.
It is indeed - it's on a flatbed, which is towed behind a giant White big rig. You haven't lived until you're following the bells down the highway at breakneck speed, all of 'em clanging and chiming their driving song!
And yes, it's very physical and very therapeutic. The one I'm learning on, which is a stationary one in a tower, is the equivalent of a brand-new stick-shift . . . it's easy to get the bells to produce notes without much effort. The Cast in Bronze bells - the old stick-shift with the hard clutch - are (as Frank the guy in black has it) a "more manly instrument," requiring lots more pressure and power from me (unexpected when Frank put me on the spot to play at one of his late shows).
I try to go after work every day - it's on my way home - but the Festival sorely cut into that.
Someday I'll tell the story of how Frank got me to play in front of my first audience, and what ensued.
esme, do you like salsa music?
