Its important to remember that bagpipes were developed as an ancient weapon of terror, basically a predecessor to the sirens on stukas. Only a sodden and dark hearted race of people could find any attraction in their screeching sound.

I agree. They were invented in the Middle East.

A wedding can definitely be considered an act of terror.. I've been to a few of those.

I thought bag pipes were designed to be played by Hillary or Nancy. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01448/Pan-Flute_1448637i.jpg)

I am not a Scot but I do love hearing the pipes. Amazing Grace is just about as emotional as it gets when played on them.

You have experience bagpipes in a foggy, or non visible distance, in a battlefield, in person, to get the real effect of them.
When I was deployed in Iraq, an insane blackout sand storm rolled in during the middle of the day. The sun disappeared, day went to instant night, and you couldn't see 15 feet in front of you. I pulled my scarf up over my face to breath, and out in the distance it began. A bagpipe started playing and it's sound seemed to cut through the mass of dark, dust, and sand. It cut straight to my core and it is an experience I will never forget and will probably never be duplicated again.
The bagpipes have to be my favorite instrument. Nothing packs as much raw emotion and power in my opinion.
Turns out an American soldier decided to take that opportunity to play his pipes. Not sure how he did it in that thick sand storm.

I agree. They were invented in the Middle East.
I had always thought them to be Gaelic in origin. When I was in Qatar I heard bagpipes playing and asked a local what was going on. He mentioned that they were a traditional Jordanian instrument and that a traditional Jordanian wedding was underway.
Vladimir I. Lenin claimed, "One of the basic conditions for victory of socialism is the arming of the workers (Communists) and the disarming of the bourgeoisie (the middle class)."
