from what i've heard Floyd and a lot of other progressive rockers were listening to Coltrane and Sun-ra back in the 60s and early 70s!

Rufus was a saint ... super cool fellow!

[CharlieRutan]

@FROMTEXAS75409 ahhh, youre all wrong there boss....Rufus used Hardies. Bought em offa Angus Mac in Chalfont. I gigged with Rufus, and am a piper myself. :)

[CharlieRutan]

and by the way: any o you hard-ass '"if-it-aint-Scots-its-crap" pipers out there still bitchin 'cos ya dont like what Rufus was doin here:

consider this-

precious few o yas gave him ANY help when he was askin for it back in the day.

so either stfu or play better jazz pipes, from scratch, than this; using ol fashioned cane, skin, flapper valve & left handed recorder fingering.

sag ich selten, aber das ist der grösste mist den ich seit langem gehört habe

[buzundunga]

This is totally great! (I'm of Scottish descent, BTW)...sounds better than soprano sax and more in tune.

[TheTrumpetWhoCould]

is he black? O.o black Scottish people?

[masterofcornemuse]

That is not bagpipe, it's a inaudible noise. When someone plays bagpipe in a concert, he must have a audible sound. There it is not that and even if it's jazz bagpipe, there are limits of stupidity

[chlof0]

Cheeky bit of Green Sleves there

[rasdine]

Horrible, on pense souvent que la cornemuse c'est dur mais y a des limites quand même. Et les cornemuses pakistanaises ne sont PAS des cornemuses, ce sont des fakes, des contres-façons. Des trucs avec un son infâmes comme ce truc d'ailleurs. deuxième point : la cornemuse, comme tout instrument qui demande un minimum de pratique, possède un doigté qui là m'a l'air de ne pas avoir été appris, c'est inaudible et inacceptable devant un public

forgive apologize for the honor. It was not a nice Coment from me I know and sorry, maybe I dont know so much about jazz music with the Pipes. But he is playing a Pakistanipipe, a imitation from a scottish with rosewood made, a scottish Pipe sounds different about ebony wood. thats wy I was kidding and make a joke of this Band. they are real good player I see and it shows me respect because I m self a bagpiper and I canot playing what he plays, so I hope you are not mad of me:)
