I've been using the "Uncle Cam" poster (I want you to PRACTICE) for a while now, but I retired from teaching, so it's time for something else. This winter I played two funerals in the snow and cold- yes outside- something most banjo players never have to do. It may look like clouds or a mountain range in the background, but it's just the snow at the cemetery just a mile or so from my house. at least I didn't have far to go to get warm when we were done.

My wife also said it looked like I was up in the clouds- but then it would be a harp, wouldn't it? It's just snow and lots of it.

You're not ready for a harp yet Bob.

Love bagpipes, wouldn't have the breath for it. I've craved a hurdygurdy for a while, which sounds a bit like the pipes. Sorry you had to play during such unhappy circumstances, but I'm sure the sound of the pipes was uplifting to all.

Thanks, All. Jane, I hope I'm not ready for the pitchfork either. Kevin- there are bagpipes which are winded by bellows, ncluding several types of French bagpipes, German and Czech bagpipes, Northumbrian smallpipes and two other types of bagpipes I play, Lowland Bagpipes (AKA Border Pipes) ands Scottish Smallpipes. There's a festival I go to in august every year in Vermont, The Pipers Gathering, where you'lll likely find all of theose types of pipes plus hurdy-gurdies on occasion. At least it was my introduction to [i] ville a roux[/i]
