Was bimbling about on eBay and came across this:

There are are lots of different ones for other instruments too!
To think I spent years practicing scales and developing my embouchure.... well no, actually I just fumbled about until I reached the level of "mediocre"!
So, with three weeks to go to Cologne, I will order a set of these, learn to play sax, clarinet, etc in my sleep and then if anyone goes sick I can leap in and take their place!

Bagpipes-(noun)-I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made object never equalled the purity of sound achieved by the pig.
-Alfred Hitchcock 
How many pigs are going to Koln?

You could go out and waste your money on this, or you could just be born fantastic. I advise the latter. It's cheaper and quicker.

No one is going to complain when someone doesn't buy bagpipes, that's for sure!

Now then boys and girls............bagpipes are nice............honest!!!!
They have caused me to visit places I've only dreamed of.........met people who I continue to love to this day.
As for quasijock.......how can someone with jock in their name hate the bagpipes.
So come on....lets all practice Highland Cathedral............only a few days to go now.
For those going to Cologne..........lets practice being nice to pipers........and especially drummers

Is that the Cornish tartan Gromit?
And a Welsh daffodil in your buttonhole? Very multi-cultural!
But shouldn't your furry purse dangle around the front? |
