Musicians in the House!

[Zeke]

Are there any musicians here? Does anyone play the bag pipes? If you've ever heard "Amazing Grace" on the pipes, then you'll know why I want to learn them!

The local fire department had its 25th anniversary abd had an entire bagpipe band and they had a memorial service, after which a lone piper played "Amazing Grace". It brought me to tears! --It always does.
I'm a fiddler, meself and also play the flute. I taught myself how to play by ear and play "Scotland the Brave" quite well. I've even played it with a bag piper.

I think that's cool that you're learning the pipes. I myself would like to learn someday.

Thanatos, what kind of music do you play on the fiddle?

My youngest daughter plays the violin. Does that count???
