I cant hang washing on the line unless the pegs I use match in colour.

Thats normal right?

Sure if you are obsessive compulsive and off of your meds... any day.

I'm relearning the bagpipes. I'm at the stage where the fingers are willing but the lips are weak.

Tse Moana · 05-30-2006, 06:23 PM

How long ago did you start, and how long did you play then, and how long ago have you restarted and I'm not curious at all

I've been playing since December and the pipemajor of the band says I'm almost ready to learn my first tune. Yay!

skysidhe · 05-31-2006, 05:30 PM

I'll be late rather than early.

Two beers have given me a hangover headache today.

Screw moderation.

All things in moderation, especially moderation.

cherandbuster · 06-04-2006, 01:02 PM

Alas, moderation is a concept that I have never fully grasped.

Dogs and baseball make me smile.

I got serious about wrestling a stand of pipes in 1990, played from then until about 1998, revived it a little in early 2001, then put it by again until a few weeks ago now. I reckon I might as well continue. After all, funeral and wedding gigs can make you a bit of extra money. The going rate around here starts at $75-$100 a pop. I've played in a band before, and I want to expand my repertoire of jigs, reels, and hornpipes. Piobaireachd is a dream that is further down the road. For some reason piobaireachd teachers are VERY thin on the ground.

Are you playing on the pipes yet or are you still only playing the practice chanter? The practice chanter is the only thing I learn material on.

One more way to Be Obnoxious On The Pipes: play Monty Python's Lumberjack Song.

I like being bare footed but I don't like getting stocking feet wet or my socks dirty.

Around these parts, folks'll pay you $125.00 to refrain from playing them. Even I can make a good living that way, as I don't play the pipes...but they needn't know that.

How do you define perfect pitch on the bagpipes? When you toss the bagpipes into the duck pond, spang into the middle of a circle of ducks, without disturbing a single one.

How do you tune the bagpipes? No one knows...its never been done.

Actually, I love the pipes, and have longed to learn to play them myself. However, my wife has told me I'd have to move...to outer space.

In space, no one can hear you play "Amazing Grace".

wolf · 06-06-2006, 12:15 AM

At least if it were played in space, I wouldn't have to cry buckets then.

Although I'd probably do so just from knowing it was happening.
