Banjo music

[Tallpine]

Now bagpipes drive me up a wall! I get massive headaches from some sounds and smells and bagpipes are a sure trigger for me.

The English had the same problem

The difference between a banjo and a trampoline?  You are expected to take your shoes off when you jump on a trampoline.

"Perfect Pitch": Getting the banjo in the dumpster on yer first throw.

[Doggy Daddy]

Leave the bagpipes out of this.

The problem is most pipers know "Amazing Grace", "Danny Boy", "Scotland the Brave" and possibly some generic reel tune.  Now imagine a line of men in skirts walking towards you, being led by some crazed man squeezing a cat to this tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7PKSOAtUjc

stay safe.

I'm imagining it.  And I'm planning where my first round would go.

I like bagpipes, as long as they are played outside.

My mom almost killed someone over this subject.

As far as banjo's, my mom got really heavy into folk music when I was a kid. So we were always going to jams and parties and festivals. Two things I'm very used to are falling asleep surronded by musicians playing bluegrass/old-time/folk music and being shoved into a small car with an upright bass.

Well, he hasn't done any comedy since sometime in the 80s, so...

He's had 30+ roles in movies and TV since 1990. Not all were comedy but he has ad steady work.

I don't mind banjo music. It's just I am a Blues/Funk/Classic Rock drummer and we don't get many banjo players in those genres. A good friend of mine plays the banjo and we swap jokes all the time. Now bagpipes drive me up a wall! I get massive headaches from some sounds and smells and bagpipes are a sure trigger for me. My Scottish ancestors are not happy with me!

I've never noticed any unusual smells from bagpipes, now bagpipe players are another story...

And if you've seen them, you know that none of them are comedies.    He just hasn't been funny in a long time, is my point.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

One of my favorite little jokes on a first date with a woman is to ask if she's ever had a guy serenade her, standing outside her window playing romantic music. All say no, and I then say, "next time I'll bring my accordion."  When she makes a disapproving sound, I say, "I'm kidding. I don't play the accordion." Pause, then "I play the bagpipes."

I've heard a story about the battle of El Alamein where a British (or maybe Scottish) regiment was pinned down by the Germans and their commander called back and ask for a platoon of tanks or a bagpiper.


I've always wanted to go to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo:
