If you ever do I suggest you be VERY polite to the guy who's big enough to play it.

That's the recommended way of dealing with bagpipes and accordions.

She rushed off, came back on with a new bow & announced that fortunately the bow was repairable, as to replace it would be the equivalent to "buying a new pool for your house". Was it Tosca from Austin? I'm recording them next week!

You know, I think it was! The name sounds familiar. It was at a time when I was recording concerts for broadcast on a local radio station & the names kinda blur a bit in my mind. Thanks for that. I hope your recording goes well!
