Musical Reflection

Some music just works better live rather than on CD. Listening to recordings of bagpipe playing just doesn't cut it...or isn't right now anyway.

Scottish Highland Games is just around the corner! Though it looks like a busy weekend. http://www.sshga.org/home.htm

Very cool - thanks so much for the turn-on! Amusingly enough, I've been wanting to visit Enumclaw some time now simply for the name...but how much better if'n there's an actual reason to go out yonder. I'm adding it to my GooCal to keep track of it, in case there's a hole in my schedule that needs filling in 'round then.

It is very fun.. at least once. :-) lots of live GOOD piping, and the bands rock! I recommend Wicked Tinkers. http://www.amazon.com/Banger-Breakfast-Wicked-Tinkers/dp/B0000A1QMJ/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi/104-8189926-1170342

Yup - I was just checking out the music. I've LOVED both the Wicked Tinkers and Tempest since I first saw 'em play together over a decade ago in SoCal. Last summer the WT played an outdoor FREE show up in Duvall which I managed to make it to - 'twas great!

I think bagpipes work fine on CD. It really is just how loud you play them. If the neighbors 3 blocks away can't hear them, it's no good. :D

Ah, mebbe THAT's what I was doing wrong...

And now for the old scottish joke:

What do you call 100 bagpipes at the bottom of Loch Ness?

A good start!

Ha Ha Ha Ha

(OK, I actually like bagpipe music, but I also love the joke)
