6. Well, I just finished playing it on
2 tin whistles, a concert flute, and a lap steel.

Everything I can afford

Send me a set of bagpipes and I would be glad to oblige. :-)

7. Only thing that can be played on bagpipes.
Scotland is a wonderful country, but no thanks for the bagpipes, guys.

11. Danny Boy on bagpipes will bring you to tears.
Especially when played at the funeral of a teenager named Danny. :cry:

10. Only because you've never heard TM do it a cappella.
At her grandfathers' funerals and the funeral of a friend's dad.
