And you inflate the bag and every time you blow then you squeeze after you finish blowing. And you have to keep the pressure constant to keep that drone sounds. And then you have to play and then you have to walk. So there's a lot of things going on at the same time.
They have to carry all their instruments as they are marching.
Of course that's the best way. Let's play a droning bagpipe.
I mean, picture this, Yang Chen. A group of musicians, men and women, dressed in the same very formal Scottish costume with kilt, you know a skirt, and carrying their instruments as they parade around.
Exactly.
You're right Yang Chen, the word is "kilt." I think Margaret gave a good explanation of the origin of Scottish pipe band music.
And bagpipes are the traditional Scottish instruments used in time of war to help signal whether they were going to retreat or whether they were going to attack.
Oh, that's wonderful. And acutally that's the end of our show today. So, thank you for stopping in to American Cafe.
See ya!
