Today is International Bagpipe day. It seems to have kept a low profile, although one relative sent me a newscutting that suggests - shock, horror - that the Scots didn't invent bagpipes. Who knew.
It's a shame the story of the piper playing on every continent didn't break today. I am not sure why the BBC felt the need to use the rather ugly term "bagpiper" rather than plain piper. At least they refrained from the "lone piper" cliche.
The irony is that today, despite humming Magersfontein at my desk, I've not felt inclined to play at all. Luckily I recorded a tune yesterday. Here it is.
