A lot of people aren't big fans of the bagpipe, but I've always loved them. Then again, I'm Scottish.
The things are practically impossible to play well though. The fingerings are insane!

im not a big fan of the sound... but it looks really hard to play... all those pipes and plaid looing bags... too complex for me

I have a friend who got back from Washington DC on Wednesday. He brought both his girlfriend and me back penny whistles, lol (we're such band geeks, who would bring back instruments, lol). It came with all the fingerings and music to go along with it, hehe. So I could add that to the instruments I play now, lol.

haha when i was in 3rd grade, my mother got me guitar lessons, which was kinda fun because my teacher was this stoner who didnt teach me much beyond how to hold a guitar. i think his name was jared. we would just talk about life for like 2 hours a week. good times.

lol. It's a little bit like mold. Leave it in a dark place for a bit and it grows...

Lol, that's an interesting way of thinking about it.

I took Piano lessons for a grand total of two weeks in the second grade. The music book took away the note names from under the notes so I was dead

LOL. Wow ok that cracked me up. You should have just added them in! I know kids who did that all the way to graduation.

i never really learned how to read music. (which totally screwed me over in the long run!) my piano teacher would always play the piece for me and then have me play it. my ear was so good that was able to play it back perfectly without ever having to read the music. stupid good memory. lol.

Wow! I wish I had a memory like that!
