I just wanted to say something so I would know were I was when I said something so I can find my way back.

Do deaf people hear voices in their head or do they need to use sign language to get them to do something.

If I don’t listen to my voices in my head they will sing stupid annoying songs to get my attention like Duke of Earl. But they don’t like Sousa marches which is kinda a problem because Sousa marches don’t have any words usually. I know the words to “Be kind to your fine feathered friends” But the voices are starting to like it. The only sure fire way to get rid of them is Sandi Patty singing “The Star spangled Banner.” Sometimes I forget and look for Sandy Patti. Also if I try to sing Old man river I can torment them.

Or I could just.

Ping

If Robert were prone to sleepFReeping, that could be he.

Do they sing “Duke of Earl” in Chinese? We composed a version in my freshman year of college in Chinese history class. “Duke Duke Duke Duke of Chou Chou Chou, Duke of Chou Duke Duke Duke of Chou.”

Do like me and memorize bagpipe tunes.

Not the common tunes everybody knows including "Amazing Grace," "Dark Island" and all that. I mean the slightly more esoteric (that means the "in stuff -- we know this and you don't" for pipers) "little-music" such as "Itchy Fingers" or "The Clumsy Lover" or "The Gravel Walk" or even "Farewell to Nigg" which, if I remember aright, is the only pipe tune to commemorate an oil rig! (It's in my collection somewhere.)

If you're really ambitious, go for the Piobaireachd such as "The Desperate Battle (of The Birds)" or, if you're really into sinister material try "Lasan Phadruig Caogach" (look it up) which is in English "A Flame of Wrath For Squinting Peter" -- a melody that can take up to 40 minutes or more to play through will be less irritatingly repeated.

Of course, it helps if you can finger along to the tune in your head. Which means you need to learn to play the bagpipe.

It keeps the voices down. Trust us.

You just have to like "Farewell to Nigg."
