Big day with the pipes!

And people said that my comments were getting off color!

I am astounded by your allegation dear sir!! I was simply asking for a clarification of a term used hereabouts... i have no idea what you might mean by your remarks !!!!


and if you believe that, how would you like to buy some shares in a lovely condo development i got going down in Florida...??? :razz:

First, congratulations on your progress. Secondly, I did not know what the "goose" terminology was all about, but I sure glad for the clarification. :-) I learn something new every day here at Xmarks.

I've certainly learnt something today. I keep "threatening" my wife and children that I am going to learn to play the pipes. Probably never get round to it as I haven't a musical note in my body.

GOOSE ~ a bagpipe, usually a Great Highland, equipped with only a chanter and no drone (or with the drones plugged), intended to allow beginning players to practice and develop their ability without having to deal with too much at once[/IMG].

Nuts! And here I was, looking for a female pipe instructor in the area, thinking I had just discovered some old Scottish tradition associated with wearing the Kilt.

This thread is reminding me of an ad campaign I once saw while visiting Chicago. It was for a sign on a bus for a beer with "Goose" in the name. The tag line was "Ask your bartender to Goose you!"

I could just see the looks on perplexed bartender's faces.

I am sure if you ask around enough you would find some lovely lady to create a new tradition just for you...

I've heard tell, that's a prerequisite!

Congratulations, KT! That's a big step. I'm a bit behind you in the process of learning the pipes, so I'm still on the chanter. I'm envious!:-)

Congrats on your progress. It can be hard to stick with the instructions & practice it takes to learn to play a musical instrument, but it's worth the effort (so I keep telling myself & children about learning to play the violin/fiddle).
