 I would go a long way to avoid them, not so bad at a distance, a long distance.

My SIL plays them and belongs to a piper band. She seems to really like them. They look like they're very hard to play.  |

I love them it must be in the blood cause my Dad was a Corporal in the Toronto Scottish Regiment, needless to say he wore a kilt. He used to go to all the Tattoos. When he retired from General Motors after 35 years of service we had him piped in to his retirement party. When he died we had him piped out and you guessed it Amazing Grace still tears me up...

Tom and I both love them. Glen does a good job on this. Thanks Linda I enjoyed it very much. Tell Tod to let you tape him I would love to hear him. This would be good for us COPDer's maybe another way for the mouth breathers to Exhale Dammit~

We did the same for my dad. Lone piper on a hill above us at the cemetery. I took some lessons long before I was diagnosed and hardly had the wind to squawk out some sounds. It's very difficult.  Rosie, maybe someday if I can get enough beer into him ;D |
