Personally, I am a big fan of both the pipes *and* jokes about the pipes.

I played with my partners as an opening act for a bagpipe competition once. Stunning. I mean, these people were *amazing*. I wouldn't have thought you could play runs as fast and clean on the pipes as these guys were. Not only that, but frigging hopping around and stuff. Just entirely remarkable.

Mari: PM me your snail mail, and I'll see that you get a copy. The CD is a heavily traditional-flavored, with a touch of rock and roll ethic thrown in. It was to have been the music for musical play, but after we wrote the book we pretty much decided that it sucked, and just recorded the music.
