The Accidental Piper

From a recent exchange between two folk music DJs:

As far as the Irish Poteen to which Mr. Robb referred-- throw away your Nyquil. I came down with a dreadful cold in Kerry. My host of the Irish farm on which I was staying, suggested I take a big drink of a clear fluid she provided. The next morning I felt wonderful with cold completely gone.<<

But didn’t you wonder where and why you had bought the set of bagpipes?<

Well, the cold was gone, so his head must have been clear…

:slight_smile:


When we were young, my Mom used to give us a touch of poitín (tablespoon) when we had the bad cold. It never got us into piping, though.

:frowning:

Oh, didn’t it?
