Sound of the pipes – blowing in the wind

improptu22If you ever thought you had Scotish blood pulsing in your veins – be caught off guard with the sound of pipes.

Last night about 8pm this group was having fun at Triangle Park. Hard to ask why but who cares – it was great.

One fellow said are you a bylaw officer? – I said, no, gave that up at 4:30 this afternoon.

Great talent, great sound – lots of people stopping by. We need more impromptu entertainment.

Playing bagpipes is no easy thing. Bagpipes require much stamina to play for any extended period of time, and most beginners can only play for a few minutes before having to take a break. When playing bagpipes, the piper must be careful to keep the amount of air coming out of the pipes constant, or the sound will waver and change pitch.
