Bagpipe humour!

[Blupiper]

I usually hear that one with the accordion landing on a banjo. As a banjo player myself, I take solace in the fact that the average person dislikes the banjo only slightly less than they dislike bagpipes. I happen to love them both, but don't have the lungs for the pipes.

I play the pipes and would wonder which the order of dislike would be among: bagpipes, accordion and banjo. BTW, one of my favorite tunes by the Austin Lounge Lizards is "Banjo Players in Heaven." Features solo and ensemble banjo parts in the tune. The line that always brings a grin is "It's hard to find a banjo player up in Heaven, there's somethings even Jesus won't forgive."

I actually like all three. I took a bagpipe class my first semester of college, I have a banjo hanging on the wall (need to learn how to play it sometime), and this vid almost made me buy an accordion, until I saw how much they cost.

Another suggestion on a loftier view, brought to one of my jams this Christmas by a senior partner in a
rather major international law firm. We enjoyed the playing and singing of it.

While some may decry the spreading infestation of a painful pestilence (banjo, pipes,accordions), some
of us find much joy in the beauty of these maligned members of the planetary sound mix.
