Jazz Bagpipes?

Gunhild Carling blows the bagpipes in a way I’ve never quite heard before.

It still sounds like a sack of cats heading for the river, but they’re wearing shades.

  2. All three of my children are in high school now. They all play instruments: My oldest sax & guitar, my youngest sax & piano, when my middle child wanted to take up the accordion as her instrument I cringed, but said to myself it could be worse, it could have been the bagpipe!

    But seriously the accordion has grown on me and probably what would be even worse would be having a drummer in the house!

  4. I don’t care what anyone says I like bagpipe music (and accordions and concertinas as well). When played by the likes of The Tannahill Weavers, the Battlefield Band, Boys Of The Lough etc. it can get quite stirring and I like to play it loud, in fact the louder the better. There is even an
    obscure song by Bill Haley and the Comets that uses bagpipes called Loch Lemond something I heard once which was actually good. It must be my Scots/Irish/Anglo Saxon heritage coming through.

  6. A woman at work was going on about her husband and his pipes playing:
    She, “He’s really good.”
    Me, “How can you tell?”
    She also informed me Jesus never drank wine, it was grape juice.

    I love music but rap and the pipes fail to meet the eighth bar, it’s just noise.
    Jazz is great, I’m not cool enough to ‘get’ Miles Davis.

  10. Question: What’s The Difference Between Bagpipes And Your Bed?
    Answer: You take your shoes off before you jump up and down on your bed.

    (Banjo, Accordion, or Ukulele can be substituted when necessary.)

  18. OK.
    She dances like a Harem girl with a balance disorder.
    But she kicks ass on that bagpipe.
    But then again, I could get the same sounds out of a Racoon, had I the appropriate protective gear to wear on stage.
    Just because you can do a thing, does not mean you should.

  19. THAT! = A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
    Speaking as a musician, I don’t think it sounded like a “bag of cats” at all…. However, whatever she was on, I’d like to try some. 😉

  23. @bayouwulf, I was really impressed with her in that video.
    She played trumpet, flute and slide trombone, and sang really well, IMHO.
    But then, she went and spoiled it when she brought out the nutbag pipes.
