Heard a new Budweiser commercial during the olympics yesterday (twice) that opens with uilleann pipes and then quickly goes into a whistle. Classy ad, with the clydesdales and all. Anyone heard it? Anyone know the piper?

I colloquially call every member of
equus caballus a pony whether it's under 14.2hh or not. Including my 16.1hh shire-cross mare.
