Certainly sounds like bagpipes, and there's that slight downward shift in pitch when they come in. They do sound very muffled, perhaps they recorded them from another room :lol: :lol: it could be the case that the pipes were much further from the horn than the rest of the instruments.

A very enjoyable record. Thanks for posting.

I imagine they probably were recorded much further away from the horn than the rest of the instruments, for the same reason my parents used to make me practice them outside :lol:

Arrrrrrgh ! Well, that's supposed to be bagpipes... almost sounds more like a Shriner's musette or mummer's band...

Kind of sloppy playing on the chanter, as though one of the boys in the band got hold of a set of pipes, and sort of figured-out how to make them work... sort of... :shock:

This is a "jazzed-up" / dance-ified version on "Annie Laurie"...


For "Real" jazz bag-pipes, check-out a cat named Rufus Harley... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zvRV9DSNzM

Gotta give 'em an 'A' for effort, though...

Bagpipes on a Stephen Foster song?

Raderman was one wild cat.

Definitely bagpipes. If I can find it, I'll post Ray Cummings comments on the diamond disc jacket. This is one where the etched label disc definitely outperforms the dubbed cylinder btw.
