7. These were OK. Short doses. And on pitch.
Apparently the bagpipes are a difficult instrument to play, because USUALLY they are off-pitch. And loud. Did I mention LOUD? They have only one volume - ELEVEN.

:hi:

4. Bagpipes are the bomb!
Retired law enforcement here, and hubby is a firefighter. We love bagpipes. Unfortunately we hear 'em for sad events sometimes more than happy ones, but we enjoy them in parades! Plus, I love to see hot boys in kilts! :popcorn:

13. I don't think Shakespeare was a big fan of bagpipes, either
I think he spoke of some folks who "cannot contain their urine" when the pipes start to play.

Me, I love them. Highland bagpipes, Scottish small pipes, and especially uillean pipes. Mmmmmm.

16. I never heard that line, but I believe it to be a reference to the use of bagpipes
during battle.

20. One of the bands played the song from Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Not the opening song of the cartoon but the other one.
