Tell us something.: I have played bagpipes for several years. Open heart surgery in 2014 took me out for several months and I have not yet returned. I have begun to pursue the penny whistle instead. I'm looking for advice and friends in this new instrument.

There seems to be endless tunes dedicated to Maggie. Are these given to one exceedingly popular Maggie or several Maggies?

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

That would have to have been one preternaturally long-lived woman of very elastic affections, indeed. :boggle:

We've got a Maggie at our sessions. Once one of the pipers got those of us who knew it to sing When You And I Were Young, Maggie to her in a hokey fashion, hamming it up every time we got to the word "Maggie". Of course she laughed, but it also turned her red as a beet.

Or a vampire.

Hmm - maybe I'll just start editing in the quote box for you. Normally I don't like doing that sort of thing - it's a matter of principle - but principles are commutable, and you are seriously driving me in that direction. And trust me: I'll make it quite evident that for all your time here you still haven't been houstrained yet, but 'twas a mod that had to lay out the figurative newspapers. I'm sure we wouldn't like that, now, would we?
