Ken-
No kidding: really is amazing the throaty, cheaty, gutsy sound of the
pipes. Some person down in the hold cranking away, presumably on down
time. Once my daughter and I were heading up the Willamette Valley in
an ice storm. We finally determined to get off the road. We pulled up
to the only place open, a gas station with the little glass
attendants' booth. When I cut the engine, we could hear bagpipes but
we couldn't see the piper because his booth was all steamed up. When
Hector finally noticed he had customers he emerged, in his full red
beard and thick Scot's body and hit on my daughter. Then we all went
into the booth and listened to his music. Nope, no La Phroig or
Lagavullin. Yep. I really like the sound of bagpipes. Nothing tidy
about them, eh?
