Introduction

[WolfgangAmadeusMozzarella]

Ok a few words. First off it is really difficult for me to say what kind of music Iike but I have a preference for voices over Instruments. Otherwise being eclectic is my pride. So it is faster to define what I don't like: bagpipes and salsa (both really get on my nerves to the extend of making me walk away). Still, since I love to mix genres, I would be curious to listen to salsa music played with bagpipes. I have just aquired a splendid Victor JVC QL-Y55F. Voilà I am French and have made Southern California my home for seven years. C H

Hi Charles-Henri (very grand name:D)

Having just had Mozzarella for lunch, your user name made me LOL!

I also hate the sound of Bagpipes. I think it's the monotone drone that underpins and drowns out everything else. It's a good job that guns are not legal here in the UK.

By the way....Welcome.

Hi Puffin, how did you guess Charles-Henri? Everybody calls me C H. This comes from the days I lived...in London where native English speakers started to call me Charles and I would not know who they are talking to. Where does Puffin come from?

I'm Charles-Henri.

Puffin was a password used by the accounts department of a Solicitors office where I sued people and made their lives a misery many moons ago (mind you after that I did divorce and family law - so who was more miserable!). I thought it was a bit unusual at the time and so I adopted it.

You know I've been around a bit, and have a wife who likes to dance, but I have NEVER encountered Salsa on bagpipes before. The mind boggles :mental:

Nice turntable, any chance of a pic? I have a QL-A7

Hi C H, welcome to the forum,
an old friend of mine could play reggae on his bagpipes, not sure what else he could play on them, as i would always leave within a few 'mins' of him playing...

There you go (pictures taken by the seller). Looks larger in real life..

Now that's a pretty thing ;)

A beauty indeed!

Welcome to AoS C H.

Fabulous forum name by the way!

I only like the sound of Scottish bagpipes in very, very small doses, though I much prefer the sound of the Breton and Uilleann pipes.

Enjoy the forum

Welcome Charles-Henri.

Jazz bagpipes with Sonny Rollins at Ronnie Scott's from 1974. Enjoy...:)

Thanks for sharing. I must be missing something (some frequencies), but my reflex is to say who is this guy to come and ruin Sony Rollins performance. :confused:

Hi Charles Henry,
Welcome to AoS, a happy selection of music lovers here, bagpipes? hummm! when people are learning to play bagpipes, how do they know when they've got it right?.

My dad used to say " the Welsh and the Irish gave the Scots the bagpipes, but they still haven't seen the joke". He was a Taffy by the way.
