People calling chanters 'sticks';
people calling Uilleann Pipes 'Uilleanns'

There..done. Goodnight and sweet dreams.

-people asking "Now how is that different from the bagpipes"
-people asking me questions right in the middle of a tune. I cannot play and talk at the same time. I am not alone in that, methinks.

There's more, I'm sure.

Jokes like the following:

I have a dog. Named him Peeve. When I walk him, I tell people, "This is my pet, Peeve."

uninformed people dogmaticly explaining to me the difference between the bagpipes and the you-lee-anns.

Trad Nazis who tell you you're playing the wrong version of a tune the just learned yesterday....and people who ask how much less it would cost if you played just one song.

Those who insist on making car horn sounds after you've played a tune with regulators!

(I KNOW they can sound like car horns - I'm just peeved when people insist on pointing that out!!!

)

How about this one..........people who make fun of nice people who cannot for the life of them figure out how the hell to say Uilleann....even once they have been told.

Besides, some pipes sound like Youleeann pipes in the first place and do not deserve to be clasified as Uilleann pipes. So there!

Tom, I can't talk and play at the same time either. I don't think those attributes or abilities were handed out to either of us on that particular day in July in 1961. Or, maybe they were but we were in the wrong line to get them.

I agree with this too. I used to get this when I played the piano. A little easier, for some reason with the guitar. One thing I don't have to worry about when I play the GHB's though.

This reminds me of my kids. When I am talking on the phone they always have a sudden urge to talk to there dad, very insistently. Very annoying.
