There is something so "otherworldly" in bagpipes songs

Postby Rebecca Iavelli » Sat Jun 01, 2013 10:01 am

Up at the top of the hill I live on, there is a Art college known as Walnut Hill. Today was their graduation day, and each graduation, they walk down the street towards the center of town, with a drum and bagpipe player in front. I always love to hear the bagpipes, even though some people may think the sound is like tom cats fighting, I find it "otherworldly" in its music. Always nice to hear it each year.

I remember when I used to game in Somerville, there was a guy who'd practice the bagpipes near us...

There used to be someone who practiced around here, don't know if it was the same guy who walks the graduation each year, but it was always nice to hear it off in the distance.

I would prefer a disc of those fighting cats.
