what is the sound of half a reed clapping?

The sound my blasted chanter makes when I am trying to play it

Not sure yet - but I'm a whole Reid and I can play soft or hard when I have to

Thanks, Larry. A dose of reality brings us all back down to earth. That's only $33,690,656.33 USD - not nearly enough to buy NPU.

What a difference a couple of years make huh?
(or is that eh?)

I would definitely move, but where I don't know.

Maybe, just maybe, if I had that much money my wife would stop griping and nagging.

Probably not though.

Screw that, you could just buy Geoff Woofe and Q&K and keep them your castle for when you need that next set of pipes!

Take a place at Davy Stephenson´s apprenticeship and then start my own workshop.

$40mUS=£20mUK so with that sort of money I would aim for personnal tuition by employing the top makers either AF or GW to come to my own newly set up workshop

Then again why bother - just buy everyone off their respective waiting lists and have them as my own personal makers working full time on sets from eb to low G all for myself - sets for all occasions.

What the money would not buy of course is the ability to do the sets justice

Just pay everyone to say you're the best.

I'd just blow 20 0r 30 grand on buying a knackered old set from some greedy bollocks and rent bikini women to tell me that I was great. Oh yeah, and a pool, and a big house for all this to go down in... on an island, which I would have placed equidistance between Boston and Westport.

Alternativly, you could start a crap dance show to appeal to the lowest of all common denaminators and make big $$$s (asuming that you have a suitably greasy chest).

Harry,

all this is possible in Miami (save the location of the island)!!!

This one has been resurrected.

I would also get back into Jiu-jitsu again and Iaido.

Actually I have been looking around for instructors lately. I found someone fairly close for the Jiu-jitsu. It is a problem of no time. The money would free that up.

A week's worth of tango lessons with Emma Thompson in a rooftop garden in Paris whilst sipping from a bottomless flute of Veuve would do wonders for my piping......I really think it would.

Speaking of iaido:
after 25 years of practise I can now open the case, assemble the set, and be ready to go, with the bass drone pointing in a threatening manner at the bodhran player's privates, all in under 1 second.
