[@oldmanthingspipes]

Great!! Thanks Ron my friend!! I appreciate you watching

[@Theflypiper]

Love the video ! I’ve just created a channel so I can comment 😂. I’m new to the pipe smoking world and I find your posts hugely entertaining and enjoyable; and your pipe playing isn’t half bad either 👍. Your choice of Ardbeg 10 year old is superb, my personal go to favourite of all time ! As my dear old grandmother used to say before a sip of her dram, up yer kilt 🥃!!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hey thanks so much!! It is a nice scotch. I’m looking forward to trying Arran 10 soon. Up your kilt is hilarious :0). Haha. Thanks buddy. I really appreciate it and so glad you like my channel. Thanks again Mike

[@TripleXXXLady-im5it]

Bag pipes are heavenly sounding.Thank you for making this day special by playing them to hear today filling the air around me. The Frog and Toad guest speaker, Robby Burns, reciting the rendition of "Flowers Of Scotland" was lovely to hear too. Thank you Mike for sending out some more smiles and laughter to be shared by you. A man and his pipe and memories are a wonderful thing.🐸🥃 Enjoyed you taking the time to video this!!👀☕🌄

[@oldmanthingspipes]

My friend thank you for playing the bagpipes, It was a treat. I love bagpipe music. One of my favorite songs on the bagpipes is green beret

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Oh Hi Jacques!! I appreciate you stopping by my friend!! Thanks so I much. I’ve never learnt that time sadly Mike

[@oldandintheway1955]

Hiyas Mike, old fellow, I happen to be enjoying a wee drappie o't of Ardbeg wit yas mate. It is a lovely dram. It's always good to listen to Billy Connolly, no matter what language he's speaking. The haggis in Scotland is actually quite delicious, really, it is. Sláinte Mhath 🥃 KPO ✓ Gary

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Gary Oh wow. That’s neat we both are drinking it. I’d take it in Scotland for sure. I meant the stuff in the can. Ha!! Old Billy never disappoints does he ha!! Thanks so much my friend for watching Mike KPO

[@oldandintheway1955]

Yes, a cup of kindness with you old matey.

[@nchips9012]

I thought I recognised your friend there?.....a very funny guy 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha. I couldn’t even begin to try and read. Billy Connolly so kindly offered to read it. Haha. Thanks mate!!

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Slàinte Mhath. Mike. Great pipe toon flower of Scotland. My clan is Lamont. ✋. I have the same bonnet. Having a wee dram of 18 year old Laphroaig. Cheers Ron

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Cheers Ron. That’s great that’s your clan. Lots of history there. Great scotch!! Cheers mate!!

[@marshallk4355]

I love the pipes! I always wanted to learn how to play myself but it’s something that’s completely unheard of here in German country in central mn 🤷‍♂️😆. Polka and pigs feet I guess 😆 have a great day

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Ha. I as a kid loved getting a pickled pigs foot in the bar while my dad drank. Ha!! Thanks for that memory my friend

[@thedreadtyger]

there is a German bagpipe called a Dudelsack

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@thedreadtyger you can’t make that name up can you Richard

[@thedreadtyger]

Splendid Mike 😮 sharing my dram of Bruichladdie Scottish Barley with you. Slainthe 🥃👋S.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hey thanks buddy!! So happy you stopped by my friend

[@brianquilty687]

Nice job on the Bagpipes Mike. Sounds like your time in the Tulsa Bagpipe band was a lot of fun !! I'll pretend to NOT be eating Haggis. Sounds like a meal I will never eat ..... even for money !

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha Brian. You and I both :0) thanks my friend!! It was fun and times :0)

[@TheLastOwlhoot]

The bags! ❤🤟

[@oldmanthingspipes]

[@crazy-legged-piper]

Happy Belated Burns night Mike. I did get some haggis, and I'm about to have some more. I'll have some for you 😜. I may have missed it, have you ever spoken of how and when you started laying the pipes?

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hey mate!! Thanks!! I’m not sure if I have. Next scotch night I’ll do that for sure. Thanks my friend Mike

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

The Scots toast is SLAÍNTE! (Slanjuh)

[@dalepiper6693]

You did Burns proud…a splendid celebration…a toast to ol’ Robbie Burns. (Ardbeg’s a peat monster) But no kilt😱

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Sir John It takes 30 mins or more to get the kilt and hose and sporran and shoes on. I just didn’t have the strength:0) ha!! Yes it sure is a peat monster. Ha!! Thanks my friend Mike

[@dalepiper6693]

@@oldmanthingspipes I understand…that’s why I only put my regalia on for special occasions these days.

[@dalepiper6693]

I think we’re having vegan haggis tinned of course 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hahahaha. Sounds wonderful:0) hahahaha

[@missworm]

That hat really suits you!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha. I bet

[@chrisharbin623]

Down to the Bic hun? That's what I use. Don't like matches, used a Zippo for a long time but the lighter fluid seemed to gather in my throat. Plus, they are a bit tough to maintain. Looking into butane lighters, haven't decided which one.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Please let me know which one you decide on. I’d like to find a nice one too

[@chrisharbin623]

will do ;)@@oldmanthingspipes

[@Smartiebob317]

Great video, Mike, about Robbie Burns. Unfortunately, he lived only to be 37 years old. Think about if he had lived another few decades. What did your neighbors think seeing you playing the bagpipes in full dress in the snow? 😂 I'm looking forward to your Wednesday evening live. Cheers! 🥃

[@oldmanthingspipes]

The neighbors don’t speak to us so not sure. I’m Respectful of what time and for how long I play. Cheers Bob. I didn’t know he only lived to that age. Thanks Bob!! Mike

[@missworm]

Ah, my dad used to recite that poem.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Oh neat! I couldn’t imagine even trying to same some of those words

[@missworm]

7pm central is 1am 🇬🇧and 2 am Europe, but I’ll be there!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@misswormhi Julie I was told tgat was the best time to do it. Sorry about that

[@BlakesPipes]

Your neighbors must love you!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Once in a while I hear a clap and a cheer. In the summer I see them shut their windows at times :0) oh well. I’m respectful and do it at good times. Thanks buddy for watching. Truly appreciate it

[@BlakesPipes]

@@oldmanthingspipes it was my pleasure. Sent it to my brother. He attempted to play the pipes and wanted me to try out for drums. But I can't keep a beat to save my life. I am still trying to play guitar for the last 5 years. Pipes always make me happy. Bags and tobacco and vocal, and a bunch more things that have pipes after the name, except Harley pipes at 3 am when my neighbor goes to work.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@BlakesPipes oh so neat about your brother. It’s a hard instrument to learn but so worth the time you put into it. So sorry about the Harley going off that early. I tried to learn the banjo but had to just admit one day to myself I just can’t do it.

[@Stillypapabear]

I’m trying to imagine what it would have been like if this Okie knew you when you were an Okie. We would definitely have a pint together. BTW - Was that glitch in the video at 8:05 Robbie acknowledging your toast? See you Wednesday!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hey papa bear. It was. I was going try something and forgot. Sorry. Yes we’d have a heck of a good time my friend. To bad. We’d like to go visit maybe in the spring. We should try and meet up

[@Stillypapabear]

@@oldmanthingspipes that would be great. I’m only an hour away and would love to drive over. I’ll bring Mrs bear so Linda could have some company while we visit.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@Stillypapabear yeah!! Thanks my friend

[@gregb8824]

Happy Robbie Burns day. You are on to the secret of single malt scotch. 46% abv (nothing less will do) non chill filtered and no colorant. Some recommendations: Glenallichie 12 Craigallichie 12 Deanston 10 Bunnahabhain 12 Anything from Ardnamurchan Arran 10 Ledaig 10 Glengyle Kilkerran 12 Anything from springbank(impossible to get)

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hey thank you so much. I actually plan on getting some Aaran 10 this weekend. Have to drive over an hour to get but know in my heart it will be worth it. Haha

[@dalepiper6693]

I highly agree with Greg’s recommendations 👍

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

Aye, that's me mate Billy. How dooya know him? A toast!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha. Thanks buddy for watching. He’s an old mate from years back :0)

Cheers Kevin!!

[@chrisharbin623]

So we were talking about lighters, and I don't know how to provide a link so you can see, but there was one dude from about 2 years ago that used something like a zippo, but it was a clicker to light. Tried responding but no reply as to what it is or what it costs. Again, not sure how to provide a link here, but if you know how, I'll send it.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Chris! You can get my info in my channel description and send the link that way. Thanks so much

[@chrisharbin623]

Ok, I'm a dummy, it says @oldmanthingspipes, but that wouldn't be a valid email right? (I'd understand why) derping here......

Love the pipes. My dad wasn’t a fan.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Rick. You either love them or hate them I have found out. Thanks my friend

[@rickcroucher]

That is true. It’s like Marmite.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@rickcroucher exactly :0)! Ha and I love marmite. How about you?

[@rickcroucher]

I do love Marmite. It has been my experience that women hate it.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@rickcroucher well my daughter loves it but wife hates it. Where are you from that you love marmite?

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

Canned Haggis isnae so bad...

[@oldmanthingspipes]

I’ve never had it the reviews I read were not very good

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

@@oldmanthingspipes The can is the thing you cook the meat in. You cut slits into either side of the can and put it in boiling water. It's a bit spicy and peppery...
