    I was just viewing a FB video posted on our clan group page entitled 'Now please take note. THAT'S how to play the bagpipes!' needless to say it wasn't what I expected and comes way too close to violating the spirit at least of Rule #3 so I wont even post the link here , although if one would search for Jazz in Bayern you might see why I was thinking 'If that person can play that I should be able to play a traditional ? sort of bagpipe ??? . That being said , the type of bagpipe being 'played' ... their term not mine seemed to be whats called a modern version of a 'medieval one drone - one chanter' bagpipe . I guess what struck me was why anyone would use the any bagpipes in that setting or play modern jazz with it . This all came about as I am musing over if I should violate my lifelong rule of 'not having a musical bone in my body' and attempt to get a practice chanter ... I am doing things the last few years that even 5 years ago I would have said was not only impossible but totally out of character for me ... what advice yae or nae say the rabble ???
