"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.
