[TPIN] Perfect Pitch & Bagpipes

[Graeme Beckett]

This may be a bit off, but any trumpeter involved in military music
(especially in the British tradition) will of necessity hear bagpipes.  I
remember at night after spending the day rehearsing for a military tattoo,
laying awake with the sound of bagpipes in my head.  I don't know about
perfect pitch, but there was a joke being passed around the army band: Whats
the definition of a gentleman? Answer: Someone who can play the bagpipes,
but DOESN'T!
