Who knew the bagpipes could sound so cool? {Besides you, Mr. I-have-played-them}.
I remember as a kid seeing James Galway on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and he was playing a tin whistle...I wanted to learn how to do that when I grew up!
hope; Yes, I have played the bagpipes for many years, but these are Uileann pipes (pronounced 'illen'), though related to their Scottish cousins these are Irish and a different kettle of fish to play. The tin whistle was probably the first instrument I played, and one I still play at gigs to this day. Some day I'll give you a lesson. :¬)
I apologize, Music Master, for not knowing my Irish musical instruments. But I like learning something new. :)
I use to think it took lots of "wind" for wind instruments but I think I might actually be able to handle the tin whistle. Seems much easier to carry than a piano.
And now I have something else to look forward to in the future...music lessons from the Great Map. ;)
Spirit lifting music. Thank you;)

hope; No apology needed. And it takes very little wind to play a whistle, very gentle breaths actually. :¬)
