Let's review.

Good places for bagpipes:

A distant moor
A parade
A military funeral
Scotland

Bad place for bagpipes:

Any NYC subway station!

I'm not one of those people who hates bagpipes on general principles - I like them, in fact - but there are limits and that? That's mine. What was he thinking?

Though, on the other hand, the guy who played a medley from The Nutcracker on the sax? Rock. I never would have thought that the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy would sound so nice on a saxophone before...!

I always rather liked the bagpipe guy who plays at Westlake Center in Seattle during the holiday season. He knows every Christmas tune in the universe. I've also seen him play at Bumbershoot in a trio with a tuba player and a guy using a 5-gallon bucket as a drum - they do AC/DC covers. It's awesome.
