Tell us something.: I am a walrus, I am a tea pot. John Lennon said that but people see him as a guru. Well,tell,you what he also almost became a piper asking Paddy Keenan to teach him. (bleep) got bored & went on the sitar and the rest is history.

well, I've heard a few crude jokes about Liberace, so be my guest,but be prepared for a few more, pipes specific! :D

Is Uilliam the Henry Rollins of the UP's? :tantrum:

Davy Spillane certainly had a go at being the Marillion of the UP's with those 80's synth laden noodle albums.

I was reliably informed he was great because he could play a guitar with his teeth.. Unfortunately it always sounded to me like someone playing a guitar with his teeth..

I dream of one day being the Hank Marvin of piping :tomato:

There are better pipers, I think. Also there are better guitarist than Jimmy Hendrix. Not that they are bad, but to adore them? Thats a personal choise to do.
