Nothing quite like the sound of the pipes, played properly they produce an haunting sound that can make your hair stand on end and send shivers down your spine. I used to stand and watch a busker in the center of Manchester on a Sunday, full dress, kilt and sporran. He used to pull a tidy sum of money. He had a towel in his bagpipe case, and once a few coppers started to mount up, he bent to the towel and with a quick flick all the money went into the botom of the case and covered over. I guess this was to hide what he had earned, for if there are only a couple of coins people tend to put more in. He was one canny Scot thats for sure. Excellent capture, I aways like a parade when pipers play. Bravo!!!!!
