--> 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.

My bagpipe teacher died of emphysema. True story.

ive linked to this page before.

link

but its worth a look bagpipe fans!

that thing is awesome... I wish I could get together with you jam with my suo na and that thing..

so i stuck the reed in the wrong end, and it sounded better.

try playing both videos at the same time for pure jazz bliss

lol @ both vids at the same time. hilarious!

that's damn funny

if you do decide to get a full set of pipes, go Uilleann - no offence to the Scots, but the Highland pipes were designed to strike fear into people's hearts, and they're very effective for that purpose. but the Irish took the pipes and actually made music with them.

lay some of that down with a proper mic and mixit!
