No. You don't. No one does.

In fact some days the only thing that keeps me from going postal is knowing that it's not possible for any one person to yodel and play the bagpipes at the same time.

Yet, they could play bagpipes along with a John Denver CD... and he can yodel.

That sounds like a challenge to me... :evil:

Actually that wasn't yodeling, it was just a practical example of the Doppler effect while he was screaming.

You know, technically I believe that while you blow into bagpipes to fill them, the playing comes from squeezing the bag, so in theory, you could fill up the bag with air, then take your mouth off the mouthpiece and squeeze and play while yodeling.

So there.

If true, You are dead to me.

So, in conclusion, Morigoon REALLY wants to see Moonie go postal.

Matt, you've got to post video once you've mastered that. Bagpipes plus yodeling... yeah. I bet that would be awesome!

Though I think one of the pipes requires blowing into it to play- you get the harmony ones (three pipes? Chanter, drone and ?) from the bag but I think the melody one doesn't come from the bag.

Dangit. Now I have to research bagpipes.
