Dodging Bagpipes

Today we're going to the World Music Fest downtown, which looks good- trying to determine te best way to get there, as the normal path is blocked by a Bagpipe Circle which we will attempt to circumnavigate in order to reach the string and vocal oriented Celtic stages with our ears intact.

Bagpipes are tricky though- like mustard gas, they can inflict serious harm from long distances depending on how the wind is blowing.

I also like bagpipe music...we used to have two pipers enter the club I worked at just before midnight on NYE and strut through the crowds playing...naturally one patron each year used to accost them trying for a look see up their kilts. They were good sports and I don't doubt the five hundred bucks they were paid for ten minutes work hurt them.

I can't get enough of the pipes or celtic music. It's in my blood. Read about it here then visit my web site to see what I mean.
