And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Went to a number of Ren Faires when I was younger. Toward the end, I started seeing gals wearing kilts along with the usual guys. Seemed odd for some reason.
As to the instrument itself, I’ll jut quote Hitchcock:
These are bagpipes. I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.
Lovely, a Hoot Mon girl like Cole Phillips immortalized.

ReplyDeleteYou know why bagpipe players are always walking while playing? They are trying to get away from the noise.
