I was listening to a Bach orchestral recording (“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”), and my son Johnny said, “I hear bagpipes!”
As a Presbyterian, I guess I’m supposed to know about bagpipes, eh? But I’m not Scottish or anything.
Anyway, I don’t know how Johnny even knows what bagpipes are, much less what they sound like. (There weren’t any in the Bach, by the way.) So I decided to show him some bagpipers on the web. Next he wanted to hear some bagpipe music. I googled “bagpipes audio” and found this:
Radio Gaita, “Bagpipes from around the world”
Check it out! I’ve never heard bagpipes from India before, for example. Just don’t ask me what the lyrics mean.
