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?
