“In addition to being spectacularly anarchic-sounding, bagpipes have long been part of a tradition of protest—one that’s perfectly in line with the disruptive ethos rock was founded on”

“From the plaintive melodies and deep drones of the great Highland bagpipe, to the unique double chanter harmonies of the Italian zampogna, bagpipes have particular timbral qualities that lend themselves to folk traditions and experimental music alike.”

Happy International Bagpipe Day everybody!
I’m sad to say this attempted pipebag for my hummelchen didn’t work very well (as it made them unplayable!), though I still think the concept was sound.

Why to St. Paul’s, my Dear? What make you chuse
A Church that Jacobites and Papists use,
Where English Mass is lyrick’d o’er by Boys,
And Popish Bagpipes make a hideous Noise?—how 18th-century English satirists used bagpipes to signify Jacobitism & Catholicism, & the threat to the Establishment

#FuneralFactFriday: Bagpipes At Funerals
Why do we play bagpipes at funerals, especially for police officers and firefighters?
Bagpipes have roots among the Scottish, Irish, and Celtic (plus others!), and were routinely played at weddings, wakes, and dances. When large groups immigrated to the United States after the Great Potato Famine of the 1800s, they brought their cultural traditions with them.
When they arrived, they were met with prejudice. Unfortunately, many Scottish and Irish men were forced into difficult, dangerous jobs like policing and firefighting. Work related deaths were common. The fallen were honored with the traditions of their homeland, which included mournful bagpipe music. The hauntingly beautiful melodies allowed the normally stoic men to shed their tears.
Over time, police officers and firefighters from different heritages began to request bagpipes too. They liked the solemn dignity of the instrument and the unity it created within their departments. They even developed uniformed bands of pipers, known as Emerald Societies (an homage to the Emerald Isles). Many of the bands have over 60 members!
Bagpipe music has also been adapted for military services and funerals of every day people. We've assimilated the tradition into our cultural melting pot of funeral customs. Bagpipers can be hired to play old standards like Amazing Grace and Oh Danny Boy, or a limited range of popular songs (the instruments have nine notes with no sharps or flats). Sign me up for AC/DC's Thunderstruck!

In certain cultures it's customary to play the bagpipes at a funeral. But only if you've been invited, it turns out.

Apparently today's #InternationalBagpipeDay. Who knew?
Anyway, I thought this was an ideal opportunity to share something by the great Rufus Harley.
He was the first US jazz musician to adopt the Great Highland bagpipe as his main instrument. Possibly the only one.
His career spanned hard bop, spiritual jazz and jazz-funk. The track below is taken from his wonderful LP Re-Creation of the Gods.
It's Friday, give it a try. Go on, go on, go on...
