I play bagpipes semi-professionally. The overwhelming majority of people do not like bagpipe music, and even if they do, they don’t want to hear much about my bagpiping antics. One good thing is that I will never struggle to answer the dreaded “what’s one interesting fact about yourself” icebreaker.
Bagpipes are sweet and I could listen to some bagpipe antics for sure. What’s the best one you would share if you could find someone to care about it?
Also, does semi pro mean you play for money? Last year I learned from a former co-worker that you can actually play marching band instruments for money. I thought the only musician folks making $ were in a band doing gigs, or in an orchestra style gig.
