Jazz Bagpipes.

...Here's a cut from that first album. You'll hear the chanter fluttering/rumbling on the note low A flat (the note called "Low G" by pipers). It's a sign of a very weak reed being overblown by an inexperienced piper.

I listened to the song. Not only did I enjoy that cut, but I listened to the others listed as well. Time to track down and purchase a few CD's. Thanks for sharing the information on Rufus Harley.

What was cool was, the other day, on Ebay I saw a CD set that had all of Rufus Harley's old vinyl albums re-released on it.

His first album seems to be quite rare, as I've only seen it come up a couple times in my ten years on Ebay.

I have the original vinyl of his album Kings/Queens. By that time he had got more used to playing pipes and he had all the drones going.

Great playing!

Swedish is the second official language here too, but she's speaking so broadly in the "Swedish-Swedish" (as opposed to "Finnish-Swedish" that we use here) dialect so broad it's very hard to catch it...

First, after blowing on the pipe, I think she says, "I haven't started playing anything yet."

Then, "This was another Middle Age madrigal that no-one really wants to hear but it's nice to play."
Then, "Say a song name, any song." She gets several (including Amazing grace) , and then says they will try to mix those tunes together.

Thanks for the translation.
