Dad wouldn't teach me the bagpipes.:-(



Backstory

My Dad was an amazing bag-pipe player. I'd watch with admiration as he adjusted the drones, squeezed the bag, blew into the pipe, and fingered the chanter with a speed and precision that left me breathless. But he refused to teach me how to play this soul-stirring instrument and never explained why. That refusal left me confused and more than a little angry.
