My musical ability is pretty low so I'm thinking of learning to play the Cow Bell. Anyone here play it?

Being Scottish/Irish i have always loved the bagpipes. I definately would like for someone to play Amazing Grace on the bagpipes at my funeral when the time comes. When my greatuncle passed away we had a Military funeral. 21 gun,taps and F-16 flyby in formation and after the service was over someone on the other side of the hill started playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes and noone ever knew who it was, where they came from or who had called them. It was definately an awesome service.

Go for it, no other instrument like it and your neighbors will love the practicing as long as you do not like in an apartment.

Amazing Grace is the best on set of bagpipes, that is moving. At a fallen officers burial service it was more than moving. Right afterwords Taps was played on a trumpet.
