    I have the album. Every once in a while, when someone at work rags on me on learning to play "that gadawfhul instrument," and they don't have to like pipes because they're [insert nationality here], I pull out that CD and say, "But pipes are [insert same nationality here]! How can you not like your own music?"
    That usually quiets them down for a few months.

    I've enjoyed the sound of the pipes for as long as I can remember. I only discovered the piercing quality of bagpipes recently when I pulled up beside one of those "pimpmobiles", at a stoplight, with the roof pulsing from the loud and obnoxious rap music he was blasting for everyone in the next state to have to hear. I cranked up the bagpipe music I was playing on my CD player, and he rolled up the window. My radio did not have a big power amp like he did, but it did have "power pipes" on the CD.

    It's a very interesting CD. I don't play it as much as my other pipe CD's, but it is an excellent survey of the many different bagpipes from around the world. I definitely had to have it. It's well put together and is a good CD.

    You don't have to have Scottish blood to wear a kilt
    But if you have Scottish ancestery,
    A love of both Kilts and Pipes are in your blood
