Who's with me?
All of those whiny, out-of-tune CRAP "instruments" (I use that term laughingly) should be banned from the face of the earth.
Sign my online petition by posting in this thread.
We'll have a virtual (online) March On Washington, and demand that all of the instruments be confiscated and burned, along with all recordings containing this garbage.
Chuck Mangione will play "Feels So Good" on his flugelhorn during the burning ceremony, officiated by Faith Hill.
Who's with me?

There is no more somber and poignant sound than a lone piper on a still day.

50% Irish on my mothers side. She was an O'Leary. If she even got a whiff I was hanging around a board that wanted to ban the pipes, she would disown me, and hunt you down and kill you. :D
50% Sicilian on my fathers side. He could give a shit about bagpipes. He cares about Sofia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida.

The pipes have sounded for brave troops marching into dangerous battles since the middle ages, and also sounded for the fallen lost to those battles. Ye shou be drawn and quartered for this blasphemy! Aye laddie! :beat:
I attended my buds Dad's funeral, an old piper himself. A beautiful fall day in the country, a lone piper playing a lament for the dead on a grassy knoll a distance away, and I can assure you, there wasn't a dry eye :cry: in the congregation,
......and I don't mean from the pipe playing! :rofl:

My wife knows that when I go before her, I want a piper at my funeral.
And before anyone cracks wise about me going before her, you know the old joke about why husbands die first:D

It is written into my advance directive that there can be no bagpipes at my funeral.

Having attended a few funerals for people I worked with over the years, all having bagpipes as part of the L.E. tradition I must disagree with OP
:kick:
:cheers:
Also, there is "a long way to the top, if you wanna' rock and roll" by AC/DC which has great bagpipes

I'm a sworn Deputy Sheriff myself, and have been to way too many LODD funerals.
It still doesn't change the way I feel about that awful, grating-on-my-nerves screeching noise that's coming out of those things.
Sounds like someone's slowly killing a cat to me.

I happen to like bag pipes but then again I'm just a few french fries short of a full happy meal. If Sea Six and others don't like them then it's their opinion. It doesn't make them retarded or anything. Carry on. :D
BTW If there is any threats sent via PM or posted on here because someone doesn't agree with you then some of us may have to get irritated. :yesnod:

I don't know a lone bugler playing taps on said still day is right up there.:cheers:

I always liked Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes but it got so overplayed that I change the channel if I hear it.
The flute rendition of it was nice at the 9-11 ceremony.
My favorite rendition of Amazing Grace is by Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai.
Its in my Will to be played at my funeral.

I like the sound of bag pipes. I feel that they honor the military dead.
