Do you know why bagpipers generally walk around while they play? We aren't exactly sure but the two best answers are:

a) To get away from the sound.
and
b) A moving target is harder to hit.

I’m one of the group that is attracted to bagpipes like a moth to flame.

I will walk a few blocks to find them if I hear in a city (happened once). Then I stand transfixed until they stop. To me they are one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.

Do you know the sound of a perfect pitch? When you pitch the bagpipes in the dumpster and don’t hit any of the sides.
