Bagpipes

As those who know me know well, I've yet to meet a hobby I didn't like. A couple years back I got really interested in bagpipes. To the point of getting a bagpipe chanter, and figuring out how to play "Amazing Grace" on it. Not well, but recognizably.

Some of that was due to a CD a friend had lent me (you know who you are). Recently I found out the name of that CD, and the band that made it.

It was these guys: http://www.kcpipeband.org/

Now this was pretty exciting, as I could order a copy of the CD for myself! Even better, they contribute under creative commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/nc-sa/1.0/). However, the merchandise section of their site is down, and they haven't responded to emails. So for the time being, all I can do is enjoy them on youtube:

So... enjoy.
