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.
