Pipes in Unexpected Places

[Dileasgubas]

Was in the ruins of Jerash, Jordan a few months ago. Heard the pipes being played in the amphitheatre. Let me say the sound was brilliant. My wife rolled her eyes and said, "Only I could find the only 2 bagpipes in the entire Middle East." Quite an awesome experience. I'll post pics when I can.

I have been in several Middle Eastern / Mahgreb countries (Egypt, Kuwait, Morrocco, and most recently, Libya) and have come across the pipes in every one of them. It is hard to suppress a smile when watching Libyan police forces marching to the tune of Heilan Laddie! It must be because the sound carries so well.
