    I've seen Johnny perform live a number of times. If you ever get the chance, you MUST see him! He's a hilarious comedian and a fantastic piper!

    I wish I was more musically talented... right now I can only play the guitar and trombone with a little bit of drums and piano splashed in there.

    and I wish that pipes would fit into a high school students budget

    great link, there are some other videos on the website

    doubling on C
    Low A
    doubling on e

    Low a
    Throw on D

    F natural ( f with top hand finger 3 covering the d hole as well) when Gordon Duncan played it he managed to get another couple of embelishments in as well
    (not for the faint hearted

    Its become a bit of a bagpipe novelty standard since it first appered on Gordon Duncans "thunderstruck" Album

    That guys great. I would love to take up the bagpipes someday, but currently i live in an apartment with alot of close neighbors and no backyard. While technically I could do it, it wouldn't make me very popular with the neighbors, let alone my wife.

    that reminds me of a joke!!



    Hamish had just moved to the big city and after a few weeks he called his mum to tell her how life is...

    " well how is it Hamish?"

    "Mum ....I dont know whats wrong with these big city folk....."

    "what do ye mean? "

    "well since I moved into my flat I have a guy on one side of me that contantly bangs his fist on the wall.....and the other side has a woman that screams at the top of her lungs all day"

    "oh that sounds terrible!!! what do ye do to stay sane? "

    nothing really ....I just practice my bagpipes all day!!!"
