With the St. Patrick's Day celebration coming to a close yesterday, I can't help but think one thing.Where do the bagpipers hibernate for the rest of the year?
Bagpipers in this country are like the groundhog on Groundhog Day. They only come out for one day. But my real question is, how does one get involved with playing the bagpipes? And if so, what the hell do they do with it for the rest of the 364 days in the year?
Have you heard of a bagpipes concert? I haven't. How about a "Special Musical Guest--Bagpipers" at a show? Doesn't ring a bell to me.
What is by far what seems like the coolest and most difficult instrument to play, is certainly played by a ton of people around the country on St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
But it's about the only instrument that is only acceptable one day a year! Why is that!?
