Bagpipes!
I've always loved the sound of bagpipes, since I first heard them. And today, I was out in my yard, and heard them, played live, quite nearby. I live on the edge of a park (Tufts Park in Medford, MA), and it was coming from there somewhere.
So I went to look. Sure enough, there's a gentleman playing in mid-field. I waited for him to finish the piece he was on, and applauded. I love that he's there. (If he's there again soonish, I plan to ask where he learned, and where *I* could potentially learn. I have a practice chanter (it's the pipe part, with the fingerholes, without the bag part), and I'm interested in learning, if I can find the time.
Made my day, that.
