I admit it.

I like Bagpipe music, and the instrument itself. It’s just cool… weird spindly wooden legs, a big belly that can have neato plaids or designs on it… a capacity to send folks that don’t like it running for the hills at a record pace. Draws nifty images in my mind of skeletal armies from Bedknobs & Broomsticks and thoughts of taking my sweetie to Irish / Scottish festivals… just being out in cool weather on a green field. I have an urge to toss a hammer, throw a caber, and dance.

I also like Banjo, Dulcimer, and Fife. So there. (But I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for brass… must be the German in me.)
