Dunno if I look the non-Minnesotan; never thought of it. But I like the idea of dubhlinn and myself having taste in common. As for my toggery and Florida junkets, no: if I came to visit Joseph - he being a reedmaker - I would be cloaked instead in abject supplication.
Um…how many heads DO you have? 
You’re bringing the Guinness.
Alrighty then, here’s the whole crew.
In this shot, it looks like the Royce-ster is playing the rare, and seldom seen, guitar-chanter.
Oh, and Tommykleen, that’s a snappin’ hat sir. Your good taste is always discernable. 
Oh, and I nearly forgot…
Why do uilleann pipers all wear bibs on their thighs?
And why is nano’s thingee so much longer than all the other pipers’ thingees?
And why do people in the South assume that people who live north of Cairo, Illinois, wear sweaters all year round?
And while we’re at it – How do they make string?
1). The “bib” is called a “popping strap”, and is used to close off the bell note of the chanter.
2). Nano’s thingy is longer because it is a: a straight drone, b: a lower pitched set than most of the others.
3). Because they live in the South all year 'round
4). Beats me.
Yeah, your usual bass drone is recurved nowadays. Straight bass drones are really old-style, obviously need more space, and don’t present the sensible-minded convenience that a recurved drone does, but they look frickin’ COOL. Some people might think it’s the same sort of thing as when some shlub in a midlife crisis - and needing to compensate for something - buys a hot sportscar, or that, alternatively, maybe I’m a size queen.
Well, what of it?
If you were a size queen (that always sounded to me like a brand of really big vacuum cleaner with all the attachments) you would play one of those monsters from the European mainland.

“Who was that masked man?”

You’re not a Size Queen sir, more like, well, a Size Knave. 
Easy for you to say, sir!
I rather thought he looked like he had gained a few pounds.
Perhaps it was just the colorful garb!
That, or the common opinion that film adds 10 lbs to one’s image.
Hmmm, that was based on two pictures.
Maybe I should try to find the other… 
What a relief! When I saw the title thread, I feared he had taken up the Réç°*%&}!!! 
NO WAY!!! Not our Nano!!! Never, ever in a million years!!!
… ummm, you don’t play the darned thing, do you Nano?
I tried a recorder once, but I didn’t inhale.
And why are Dogs lips black?
Who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb? (Les Steckle, for you Viking’s fans).
Nobody. You don’t bury people in tombs. You entomb them.
Now – Who fought in the Franco-Prussian War besides the Francos?
Uh … the … the Prussions? <ducks and runs>
