The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 04, 2024

I was told once that in WWII the Germans would dred hearing Scottish Pipes on the field of battle for they knew the, Ladies from Hell were coming. The Black Watch.

Don’t you mean “Laddies”? Though the ladies were probably also fearsome.

Then there’s the accordian.

Back in the late ’40s, my dad was working at the college radio station. He put a bagpipe tape on and went out to mow the grass. When he came back in he got a call, the tape was running backwards. With the old mono tapes, it was easy enough. One person noticed.

I love the sound of bagpipes.

Working second shift we all alternated the music we listened to so everyone had a chance for their music. We had one individual that was a thorn in everyone’s side. One night one of the guys was going through my folder of cds and saw I had several bag pipe disks. He told another and he had one as well as a couple himself. The next night we decided it was bagpipe night. We cranked it up LOUD. The thorny individual was having non of it and wanted us to kill it. All just told him, it’s bagpipe night, deal with it. Around dinner time he went to management and complained. The manager told me later that he was just about ready to tell us to knock it off when Mr Thorn complained. He said his response to him was “I am rather enjoying it, One night isn’t gonna hurt you!”As I said he was an issue for everybody!

bagpipes? check out the snakecharmer on youtube…heavy metal bagpipes!!

Why do bagpipers march? To get away from the noise.

I always thought they were squeezing a couple geese they had in those bags…

Toby has better taste than I thought.

Just so long as it isn’t Amazing Grace, I enjoy bagpipe music.

I love bagpipes. AC/DC even used pipes!

I love bagpipes

I’ve never understood how it is that fine bagpipers get this treatment while electric guitar-whangers get rich.
