I first heard "Jolene" as the piped music on a long bus trip down the Adriatic coast in Croatia. It relieved a rather boring ride and I still like it.

I used to travel with a Deger electronic bagpipe chanter. It made a good conversation starter, I could share the earphones. I once tried it in an internet cafe on the edge of Malatya in eastern Turkey at about midnight while waiting for the airport bus to meet my wife off the plane. The probably-Kurdish owner turned out to be a bagpipe buff and was inspired to crank up the sound on his PC to play a video of a regimental band. Meanwhile one of the customers asked me in Turkish, did I know anything about architectural glass? He'd travelled all over Turkey studying the use of glass in mosques. Apparently the chandelier in the big mosque in Ankara is an accident waiting to happen and you don't want to stand under it.
