[Dixielandjazz] Bagpipes - Amazing Grace

[David Richoux]

I have tried  several times to learn even basic bagpipe - it is quite  
tricky!  Keeping the drones in tune is the hardest part and the  
fingerings are a bit odd (for this brass player, anyway.)

All instruments - even the lowly Kazoo - can be played badly, so  
please don't pick on pipers!

(one other instrument that is sometimes used in OKOM to great or  
horrible results: the Slide Whistle...)
