Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for November 10, 2017

Q: Why do bagpipers March when they play?A: To get away from the sound.

I really did LOL at this, but bagpipes can also be hauntingly beautiful.

I play bagpipes and you have to have a pretty thick skin to endure all the jokes. But I agree with Cerabooge: when tuned well and played well it’s one of the most beautiful sounds.

I think that Bagpipes in the distance sound good.

…in the distance…

So Horace became a Scot?

That ‘power of music’ began to take me to ‘another place’ already when I was 13 years old kid. I had to travel by a train 15 miles to the closest town’s record shop to buy an LP-record. And that was Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish you were here.’ Wasn’t so easy those days than nowadays…

This is why bagpipes are only played at funerals; dead people can’t complain.

I’ve gotta stand up for bagpipes. I love ’em.

Bagpipes either instill joy or loathing in the listener, usually loathing. That’s why the British, after they conquered the Scots, drafted their pipers into their army. Their music filled their enemies with dread and confusion. If not, then the pipers in the front ranks would absorb a few bullets anyway.

The artist is down! He couldn’t copy anymore! He got the weight of the world upon his shoulders! Became a beast of burden! Lost his creativity! Wish to release him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CONdOuNIv80
