Hey...what's with that other guy keeping rhythm?!? That's cheating. It's like having someone else playing regulators for you!!!

I think I remember a recording of W.C. with someone else playing the regs.

I've been thinking eephing will be back in style big time. Could be wrong, though.

Re: When you get bored with piping,
Here are a couple more eephin links. Eephin, (or hoodlin,) is from Tennessee, maybe 150 years ago.
Check out Jimmie Riddles "Finer Points," and "Yacketty eephin"....

Riddle and Phelps - what talent! Both of them were from Roy Acuff's band. They were friends with my uncle, Jimmy Altman, who was a great banjo player and fix-it shop man, and I used to drive 8 hours there for a Reno-style banjo lesson, unlimited cans of Bud, mixed with autoharp tuning disasters, fish fries, dandelion wine, and backwater humor. My Uncle John, who lived in a burned out washerette in Johnsonville, SC, used to be pretty good at eephin. He could also yodel like nobody's business, as could my Uncle Freddie, and Norman, a dobro player and a fantastic carpenter, and he was always wearing a genuine smile - I guess because his instrument was actually designed to be tuned up!

Interesting
And it seems that in the first tune, Yakety Eeph, around 0.48, something very similar to Waxie's Dargle starts.

Re: When you get bored with piping,
The guy on the Left is obviously a ventriloquist. Check out his left hand! He's operating that dummy w/perfect execution!
Give a man a wooden reed and he'll play in the driest of weather,
Teach a man to make a wooden reed,
and the both of ye will go insane!

Re: When you get bored with piping,
I'm sort of interested in make-do musical instruments like the jawbone of an ass, corn stalk fiddles, and the like. Kind of makes me appreciate the high tech UP's. Anybody know the name of those one string guitars nailed to the house?

In the spirit of beating a ploughshare into a sword (to reverse the idiom) you may recall that Samson slew the entire Philistine army with the jawbone of an ass.* How do we know that, if we give you this valuable information, you're not going to use the technology in a similar way, e.g., to lead us all to Armageddon à la the Pied Piper of Hamelin?
*And how could you ever forget this?!
As a young lad (pure as the wind-driven
snow) singing in the choir at the National
Cathedral in Washington you used to belt
out the phrases every Sunday:
"They stood him in the temple
And placed his back against the wall.
They laughed because they thought
He hadn't any strenght at all.
"But Samson said a little prayer
And gave a mighty shove...
WHAM, that ol' temple
Came a'crashing from above!"
With tears in your eye's you'd go on
with the heart-wrenching chorus:
"Samson! Mighty Samson!
His mother, his mother made him swear:
To serve the Lord, do no wrong,
Wear his hair, thick and long,
Be bound to God who made him strong
And never cut his hair!"

Re: When you get bored with piping,
I can hear the Philistines now..."Hahaha, look at that cracker hippie gorilla Samson - tryin to make music on that jawbone. Hey samson, get some pipes! Hahaha, Samson, you kill me!"
I have a WHOLE ROLL of tissue paper. Now if I only had a comb, I could make a musical instrument.
