Bagpipes? sounds like stepping on a cat's tail. A pipe and drum corps? ditto x 100 + beating a washtub with a hammer. And the Scots call that music. I get the impression, piper_chuck, that ye arrre a weee bit Scottish? So am I, Klan Campbell as far back as 1400's. My Mom loves genealogy and has traced her family that far. And by the way, I really DO love the pipes. We have a piper every year at church, during the Kirking of the Tartans. (Presbyterian), and I had a piper play at my stepdad's funeral a few years back.
