Listening
I have been working about everyother day on the NPU Vol. 1 video, but am finding that my learning comes easier from listening to other pipers like Seamus, Valley, and even some of you off the clips and snips.
I taught myself the whistle by using the same technique of listening. Is this a bad technigue to use learning piping?
Thanks

Re: Listening
I think you'll find it is one of the most popular and recommended ways of learning. Couple that with getting in touch with another piper of some experience, it is a good way to go. Keep it up.KDMARTINKY wrote:I have been working about everyother day on the NPU Vol. 1 video, but am finding that my learning comes easier from listening to other pipers like Seamus, Valley, and even some of you off the clips and snips.

If anyone does tell you that this listening technique is bad, then you should tell them that they are clearly suffering from an extreme case of internal cranial thrombosis.*
* Internal cranial thrombosis; slang medical term, applied to one whose head is so far up their arse, that their heart is beating the sh*t out of their brain.

Perhaps Keith's would be tutor and resident physician (Glands) might want to offer his expert medical opinion on this?

Re: Listening
Actually.... an internal cranial thrombosis would be a blood clot in one of the blood vessels within the skull - a very real and serious condition.Internal cranial thrombosis; slang medical term, applied to one whose head is so far up their arse, that their heart is beating the sh*t out of their brain.
rectal cranial infarction doesn't work either - an infarction is a blocked blood vessel causing localized decreased/absent blood flow.
I think the term you all are looking for is a cranio-rectal-cardio impaction.
But I prefer the more simple term of a cranio-rectal impaction for someone whose head is so far up their ass that they have no idea what they are doing.
cheers from your friendly neighborhood obstetrician.

I guess this has come full circle again, which begs the question: perhaps the waterfowl think you've captured a duck and are trying to squeeze doodoo out of it? They think that the sounds coming out are a call for help and they are trying to assist their wounded comrade. If there is actual dookey coming out (or if any of the others release some in flight), maybe it will get on the brasswork and improve the aesthetic value of your set.
