Good for them—as long as it’s not my home!

Bagpipers don’t need to be in a shopping mall to annoy you. Them, and accordion players, can annoy you anywhere you want to be.

Mice by themselves are bad enough, but Scots mice with bagpipes are intolerable.

Saturday I was at Celtic festival. Lots of wonderful bagpipes; all day. It was a great day.

I am one of the weirdos who actually like bagpipe music.

There’s a bagpipe player somewhere near me who plays for hours EVERY Wednesday in the spring and summer. It’s soooo annoying and they’re not even good.

check out the snakecharmer on youtube…heavy metal bagpipes…she is awesome

That’s because you don’t see them often. They have to move house a lot.

I believe they practice with something called a recorder. So they don’t get charged with disturbing the peace.

My dorm on campus was beside the golf course. A local group of bagpipers would march on the golf course around dawn on Saturday. The fog, the bagpipes. Eerie.

I believe they invented the bagpipe to make the accordion reach a larger audience.
