me dear old mammy has recently retired from her job as a teacher.
she gave me some money to spend on "something constructive"
i bought a bagpipe chanter and a new camera.
chanters are fun.
people use them to practice bagpipery type tunes.
they only cost about £6
they sound good if you take the top off and play the reed with yer mouth.
i bought a new Charles Mingus release, a live thiing from '64 with Eric Dolphy
its awesome.
ive been having fun pretending to be a free-jazz player.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, the chanter is the most beautiful sounding instrument in the world.
I've got one too... they give you one at your birth in Nova Scotia Canada.

That sound gives me flashbacks. I played the bagpipes from the age of 8 to 10. I still have two child-size practice chanters and a goose. You gotta get the goose to learn the breathing, then you can get full bagpipes and feel the power of drones.
