Two musical musings.
1. The description "jazz bagpipe-ist" is far more interesting than the reality of Rufus Harley's music. The description conjured up images of, well, I'm not entirely sure what. But the reality was something not entirely unlike someone playing an alto sax.
2. No matter how many times I listen to Dr. John's "How Come My Dog Don't Bark (When You Come Around)," I'm always the dark wit a good blues song can have when it makes its turn. Gotta love lines like "if you don't believe me, shake your head/it'll be saying 'i ain't got no body,'" and "both blades on the same side/so when I cut you once, you gonna bleed twice." Every time I hear that song I make a mental note to listen to more Dr. John, and every time I promptly forget the next day. Let's hope I remember this time.

Jazz bagpipes sound most interesting. I have never heard of Dr. John I must admit, but I'm glad you like him.
Personally, I really like HaskAlmighty's response to you right here though...
