Mmm....what is that he's blowing on?

I come here to find out what the "other side" thinks.

That's based on the assumption that the "other side" can think!

Give us a break GR: I am, therefore I THINK, I think.


as for the bagpipes and if what they say is true that they are derived from Turkish bagpipes, please do carry on you will get a big crowd from the settlers. Make sure you tune it right as you have been warned of Zans stockpile of missiles to throw.

How could you try and take that away too?

The bagpipes and presumably now, your Turkish version of them, are direct derivatives of Greek pan pipes . . . .

Dear Phoenix I did not say "I say it is Turkish". I said "if what they (the west) say is true. I knew of bagpipes in the Balkans and seen non in Anatolia. I was surprised myself. I love the Scottish bagpipes (porridge too, everyday )and can see a similarity with the 'drone' note with the Turkish sound 'drone notes on vertain musical instruments and certain religious chants. Thats all. I see all guns blzing. I am ducking.

Adam was playing his Pan pipes and Eve came running too.

OKAY we agree then . . . the Greeks were responsible for piped music . . .

[kafenes]

Sorry to disapoint you all but the origin of the bagpipes is Egypt.

[Nikitas]

Scottish bagpipes are fine. Greek bagpipes sound peculiar. Maybe we should disown that part of Hellenic inventiveness! The reedy sound is so irritating! I had to suffer it for hours at a fair once, and had to pretend to admire the buggers who played, what a horror!

I must admit I have seen many a Pan playing his pipe on many amphorae. But 'piped music'? isnt that the background music you get in your local supermarket? Nowadays 'Christmas Carols'?

I am sure the most primitive of pipes would have been made well before the ancient Greeks played it. Now be a good girl and contemplate your lonely nights without your hubby, in Cyprus. Allah, kavushturun. 'tis all I can say.

Err, Niki that's just a piglet and he's blowing air in it to give it bulk and get more money for it...
