"You mean there is more than one bagpipe song?"

They claim there is. I think it's more a matter of just holding the bag full of cats with a different grip.

What is this “music” of which you speak?

Now, I must confess I can't sympathize, or admire, anybody who thinks they hear “music” because I never have.

See, when I hear bands, chori, orchestras, or other noise making units, I hear a bunch of individual specific sounds. Granted they (usually) vary in loudness or softness, frequency (the tone (notes ?) go up and down, clarity (sometimes “fuzzy:” sometimes clear, but always - every time - I hear every single individual sound from everything that is making noise.

I described it one time to our church choir director, and he thought Iwas nuts - then he sympathized with me for some reason. Now, if you can get a me a good plot of every notes and noise, I think i can appreciate the volume and frequency changes (that's what a tone is, right ?) but it really is easier to see a plot of music than it is to hear it squeak and moan and thrumb every time.......

The tuba is making a “blaat” sound, the flute making a tweet” sound, the guitar doing a “thrumb, thrumb, thrumb, sound - they're usually fuzzy. Drums make a bang, clash(from the cymbals - unless he drops his banger onthing else), a clump, bong, bing, rat-tata-tat, etc......

Trombones are usually more longer and blended noises - because they move the rod in and our continuously.

Worse are V noisemakers. Violins screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecccchhhh. Violo’s screeeeeeeeeach too - but they are lower in frequeny. And there aren't as many of them. Voice state words. Some words are longer than others.. Some are higher frequency, but they are always words.

Bagpipes, on the other hand, make more noise than the rest with longer screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeches, and so drown them out so we can't hear the others.

You’d make a terrific Tom Terrific.

JimRob,
What in the world did you do to the weather guys?

[Tax-chick]

Told ‘em he doesn’t believe in Global Warming?

[Darksheare]

That’s because I’m in thread.
Your typos shall increase exponentially due to my presence.
Sorry about that.

[Darksheare]

He used the weather beeberizer on them.
Weather guys hate the Weather Beeber.

[Monkey Face]

Hah! My typsos increase when you lurk!

[ThomasThomas]

Bagpipes are loader because they have drones to help them.

[ThomasThomas]

louder

pimg Darksheare

[Darksheare]

LOL.
I know a bad idea when I see one.
And THAT is a bad idea.

[Darksheare]

Well, yes.
Naturally.
You’re in an advanced stage of typo virus infection.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Presumably, this maggot is threatening to get computer companies to stop selling hardware and software to FreeRepublic LLC.

[BunnySlippers]

Is that the “major” website he runs? Laughable.

[NicknamedBob]

"pimg Darksheare"

That just seems so ... appropriate.

[sionnsar]

So, you thought this thread had gone quiet, eh?

LOL, no. Didn't you see how quickly the move went? I had it all set up and then somebody posted on the thread, requiring me to revise the target coordinates before the move.

But I figured this one would get a lot of attention (visitors) to the Undead Thread.

[sionnsar]

It’s 9:00 pm in Spain (88 hours chargeable this past week ....) ..... Are we awake yet?

Dinner time! Where in Spain? I was hoping my European committee was going to go through with plans for the next meeting to be in Madrid -- but now it's going to be in Frankfurt. *\:^(

[Tax-chick]

No tats. Rather odd at certain times, though...

Unnngh. The infection potential ... *shudder* ...

[NicknamedBob]

"But I figured this one would get a lot of attention (visitors) to the Undead Thread."

Ooh, yeah. But now we're going to have to explain to all these nice people about the Undead Thread.

Do you realize what a chore that is going to be?

[sionnsar]

You mean there is more than one bagpipe song?
(Robt is confused ....)

There is even more than one bagpipe. Ask the locals there about the gaita. Then ask them what gaitero means (pipers are the same the world over).
