 No only cuss words. . .

This group Mac Talla Mor rocks the pipes. Recorded by some mobile device so sound is average at best.

Here they are playing Chi Mi Na Morbheanna  and Sleepy Maggie, (not Drowsy Maggie)

Notice the Bodhran, need to have a Bodhran Hangout  ! ! !

My brother plays highland pipes, so I know just how loud they can be. Especially when he plays in our living room, our small living room that I think amplifies sound. But when he plays outside our house it sounds really beautiful, and he is thinking of getting shuttle pipes so he can play with me and my fiddle.

They're too busy having LIVE hangouts . . .

At this event I saw and heard hundreds (it may have been over a thousand!) pipers . . .

Here is a quote I heard from a highland piper that he attributed to Mark Twain, but later found someone else attributed to Noel Coward.

"on hearing the Irish pipes was heard to say 'thank God they don't smell as well'.

Either way, a good sentiment.
