Pipes and African music go hand in hand... On my first trip to Mississippi I was fortunate to have a real life guide to areas back in the northern hill country where fife and drum are part of every country picnic... The late Otha Turner, who lives outside Como, Ms, was probably the best known of the pipers... All the folks back in them parts make their own fifes outta wild cane that grows along the creeks...

As fir the "panpipe"??? I just might have to look into getting me a couple to add to my one man band thing...
