Why are the pipes strange?

 

lol, I love them... i've been told by a few people they sound like your strangling a duck...

 

No, the better analogy is that you're putting a cat under your arm and biting its tail.

 

well is me bitting on some kitty is a bad thing so be it... cuz I love it

 

... If you like my body and you think I'm sexy all you have to do is call....

...head! pants! now!

 

I had an accordian for a while. I sucked at it.

I still play the sax from time to time.
And my dulcimer was stolen when I lived in Chicago. Thats kind of strange.

 

nope a guy with a long hard thing on his lips,while fonding other long hard things while squeezing what appears to be a huge scrotum.. nope that aint weird...




oh yeah.. and bagpipes are pretty cool... I particularly love the theme they play at cop funerals.. not cause its a cop's funeral (that sucks) but the music is soooo powerful...

 

Scotland the Brave? Or Amazing Grace?

Flowers of the Forest and Lochaber No More are two often played for funerals.

This reminds of a post I made recently... http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31325

If you look on YouTube for Red Hot Chili Pipers, you'll get *lots* of hits.

 

Aside from the obvious Dropkicks you should also check out this Canadian band called the Mudmen. Their pipers kick ass.
