Re: [ARSCLIST] LP storage &c. (and bagpipes)
When my older sister got married, my father wanted to have bagpipes
playing after the ceremony. I asked a Scottish friend of mine if he
knew of any bagpipers that could play at my sister's wedding.
He replied, "Why?To frighten the guests?"

Regarding this diversion to bagpipes and bagpipers, I am reminded of
something I read many years ago: a child, seeing and hearing a
bagpiper, supposedly
said to him later "maybe if you stopped squeezing it it would stop
screaming."
That said, I confess that I enjoy hearing bagpipes once in a while.
