There was a bagpipe band competition happening at the park the local farmer's market is held in, and it was incredible! I have never in my life seen so many bagpipers together, playing perfectly in tune! That was so cool. Bagpipes won me over today. #ProfSamLectureTour
@sundogplanets *Good* pipers make a hell of a difference. I grew up in a house whose lot was *right* up against the local high school where they had a really good competitive pipe band going back forever.
I don't think I ever adopted the distaste so many people have for them specifically because of that experience being so positive.
