Woo Hoo 601!!!!!

in the ancient days I used to work at a car rental agency. We actually had spray bottles of new car smell that we would spray into the carpeting after cleaning them up.

HEY!! If somebody likes this post I will have 600 likes! Okay it is a shameless self promo, but I do not play bagpipes or the piano. And since I can't sing worth a darn I don't chant either.

I cant sing worth a darn either. You should be up to 603 likes at least by now.

Nope, the chanter is the bit dangling from the bottom where my hands go. The melody (high pitch noise, actual tune) comes out here. As you can see it has holes in it, putting tape over the holes changes the pitch, thus tuning the chanter. The three sticking up bits are the drones and the drone (the constant lower pitch noise).

Chanter:

Parts of a bagpipe:

I started my real work life as a "used car detail er", was 17, fresh out of auto-body repair school . No spray bottles, just elbow grease and cleaning and buffing stuff.

I'm pretty sure that's what Clackers was alluding to! Thanks for clearing that up!

He never referred to it as the "chanter"....but it is what got Ricky in all that trouble.

At least Ricky's girl did not have six fingers.

Interesting to see a bagpipe dismantled. It should be required by law for all of them.

When bagpipes are outlawed, only outlaws will be pipers!

Only 45 to go, eh?

This aught to provide the impetus to get us over 40,000.

Good night.
