    I'm with Yaish on this. Definitely a very talented woman with more skill than I could ever hope to possess playing bagpipes. But I take that song very serious, and would prefer to keep it simple. Just my opinion though.

    Great find on the link though, thanks for sharing!

    That seems to be the cornemuse she's playing. The piper imparts an almost Dixieland flavor to the tune.

    I play that tune as much as several times weekly and make a bushel basket of money doing it.

    On the other hand, it's OK if I never hafta hear or pipe it ever again.

    Slainte,
    steve

    Hi steve,

    It's not a cornemuse.
    I would think it something more like Flemmish Pipes or some kind of Dudelsack. Jean Blanchard says they're probably Border Pipes, but I think the tenor drone stock is to far to the rear for it to be so.

    Slàinte madh,

    I stand corrected. The wee wifie won't be the only person today to tell me I'm wrong!

    Slainte,

    Just wow. I must say that she is a true jazz artist, and i've never heard a bagpipe sound like that.

    I liked it.

    Ok, I will be the downer here... I really did not enjoy that. She has talent, for sure, but I just did not like the rendition.
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    It took talent no doubt, but didn't do a thing for me.
