far be it from me….

…to dis’ the bagpipes. played in the right circumstances, and well, the bagpipes can be a marvelous instrument… but the guy in my neighbour’s yard playing them this canada day eve has so far butchered amazing grace, meg merrilees, and the highland march several times over. i suspect he is practicing for some event tomorrow, but i’m not sure if anything will help that man find his key. i really am trying to be zen about the piercing noise, but am finding it a bit of a challenge.
