Ah Willie O:
Don't you know it!!! Emagine some wall street fat cat thinking he earns his bucks and we, with all our work and training and sweat are real blood and tears are beggers! Geeze! I've played with a broken rib for months, right where the bellows pushes against my side, had to bandage open sores from the bellows strap wearing holes in my arm from hours of playing in hot weather... and yet, you have folks who think we get something for nothing! And yet, how many people know how many years it takes to learn to play the Uilleann pipes well enough not to scare the nieghbor's cat?
Cheers,
Larry
