One of the most difficult instruments to emulate on an arranger keyboard, IMO, is the bagpipe. Kind of a Floyd fingering technique, but with a different flare.

I decided to give this one more try tonight, just to see if I could still play. I used the S-950s Irish Hymn2 style, main intro, C-variation, put a bagpipe into the first voice, then layered a couple others as the song progressed. It was a real challenge, but I think I got through it OK.

Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone,

Thanks Donny, I really appreciate you taking time to listen and comment.

Hope I was able to help with the Genos when we talked the other day and I know you will really love that machine once you learn all the fantastic features.

All the best,

Gary cool

Thanks everyone for listening to this old codger play his aging keyboard. I see the pulmonary docs in another month, and maybe they can come up with some new, miracle drug that will allow me to sing again.

Keeping my fingers crossed,

Gary cool

Thanks for sharing such a powerful song. You did the bagpipe justice. Sounded good. Hope you're feeling well these days and glad to see you on the keys still.
