Free Range by Bill Whitehead for May 18, 2020

He’s got bagpipes for a pillow.

Did not realize Steve martin could play the accordion…that’s Weird Al’s usual gig…

Best laid plans of mice and men. Fail.

D’OH!

I prefer the bagpipes actually.

I dont know about the rest of you, but I’d take the bajo over the accordian..

I don’t think they knew how many instrument he’s brought with him. Tympanis will be next.

(whispering) Hey, guys! Fire is on your side! Hint hint…

The day Weird Al went camping and decided the accordion better fit his musical talents.

Hope he also brought his bagpipes in case something happened to his accordion.

Forget the accordion. Come out here and have some more beans Mr. Taggart.

Old joke: What’s the difference between a banjo and a chainsaw? (You can tune a chainsaw.) However, it would be much more realistic to substitute a 12-string for the banjo.

I thought the didgeridoo was in here too, …..

One more time guys ..“In heaven there is no beer…”

Why do the comics portray Americans as fat? Could it be the new realism?

Funny concept. Met Eddy Peabody when he was part of a variety show in Kansas city MO in 1969. Years later,1996, we relocated to far NW Tucson in the village of Catalina. Been playing tenor & 5-string banjos since the late 50s. Also a flute player. Wanted to have the sound of bag pipes, & bought a set with wood reads that had to be broken in. Went to a Shriners building downtown Tucson where a group of pipers practiced. They helped me set up my pipes. I mentioned I played banjos, & they said Eddy Peabody’s widow bequeathed his pipes to the club. Eddy passed away a year after I met him backstage in KC MO. WOW, banjo & bagpipe player!

I like the Banjo ! Accordions….not so much.

Only a mouth organ AKA, harmonica should be allowed camping.

That.. will get the coyotes howling for sure.

You know what banjo playing got you in " Deliverance."

[In repeat of my comment on the 14th.] How can the accordion be uncool?,,,Weird Al plays it!

Actually the worst is any poorly played reed instrument {squeak, honk, squeal}.

If the song selection is good and the instrument is played well, they are all good.

So the guys camping out traded “Deliverance” in for “Lady of Spain” – truly they need to vet their fellow campers better – they “vet” about as well as the White House.

Heheh, I play both and the accordion is louder!

Somebody didn’t finish the job.

Two of my favorite musical instruments. Add the Bagpipes and you have the perfecta.

So who invited this guy!!!

Go with the accordion, boys. If you destroy that, he’ll get out his bagpipes.

Whoops.
