442.0. "bagpipe player?" by TNPUBS::J_QUIGLEY () Wed Jun 23 1993 17:48

    A friend asked me if I knew anyone who could play bagpipes for
    a military event at Fort Devens? I don't have a clue. Any
    help here?

442.1GTE parking lot; high noonSUBSYS::GODINThu Jun 24 1993 10:106
    I know a guy (whose name escapes me of course) who works at GTE in
    Needham who practices the bagpipes in the parking lot at lunch time (2
    or 3 years ago was last time I was there.) I still have a couple
    people's numbers there, so I'll let you know what I find out.

442.2Ask the ScotsNWACES::HICKERNELLSweet summer sweatThu Jun 24 1993 10:485
    You could ask in the Scotland conference: IRNBRU::SCOTLAND.  There are
    several notes relating to pipers in there, including info from people
    in the US.

442.3Ross Faneuf, ex-DigitalUSABLE::GOODMichael GoodThu Jun 24 1993 12:173
    Ross Faneuf used to play bagpipes outside at Spit Brook during the
    summertime.  He left Digital a few months ago, though, and I'm not sure
    where he is now...
442.4Also try AMAMA::SCAESGWST::MIRASSOUThu Jun 24 1993 18:264
    Another outside shot to try is in the AMAMA::SCA notesfiles.
    (This is the notes file for the Society for Creative Anachronism.)
    I know several pipers in the local chapters, but, being on the West
    Coast, this wouldn't help you a lot...

    Bagpipes are the second most hated instrument in the world.  The first
    being the Accordion.
    
    There's some clown who plays them every day here on Market St. in SF.

442.6Still Looking?WFOV12::MCINTYREWed Jun 30 1993 10:2221
If you're still looking for someone, get in touch at WFOOFF::MCINTYRE
or call at 242-2517.  Given some of the previous responses, I'm not
sure if I should admit the I am a piper, and know several others. 

Regards,

John

    Sorry, I forgot the smiley.
    
    I still think the rendition of "Amazing Grace" in The Invasion Of The
    Bodysnatchers is heart-rending.

442.8We can take it!WFOV12::MCINTYRETue Jul 06 1993 16:505
Don't worry about the comments.  Pipers get used to being ribbed not only for
the music, but also for wearing a kilt.
