don't worry about that. A few minutes into trying to figure it out I realized that I had a better chance of attracting a rogue moose than playing music...

There are some good sources of teachers around. PM me a location and I will see what I can turn up.
I was supposed to start lessons this month, but my teacher had to move away for work. So I am looking for either a new teacher, or a fiddle teacher. I have never played an instrument (except the recorder in elemetry school) so i just want to learn right now.

I'll second this advice. The bagpipe appears to be simple, only nine notes, etc, but that's deceptive. I suspect that it's because of the primitive nature of the instrument itself (minimal moving parts, unchanged for hundreds of years) that instruction is so important. I know that there are people who have taught themselves to play, but I don't think that's the best, or even easiest method. I'd recommend this forum, www.bobdunsire.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi , as a stepping off point.
All skill and effort is to no avail when an angel pees down your drones.
