Indications of possible helically-threaded lateral hingedness ...

I have a shaker egg, and can play it like nobody's business!

Let's start a band!

All good instruments indeed. But useless without a hurdy gurdy!

As seen in another thread here: I wear both a pocket watch and a wrist watch. I also carry no less than 2 additional wrist watches in my bag incase one stops working or I'm in the mood for a change mid day. They're all mechanical.

And put in a violin for good measure.

And I say there's not nearly enough sax and violins on the Teslavisual Ætherscope!

I have a fair knowledge of performing with bagpipes or an electically powered bass guitar if so needed.

I build spaceships.

But you knew that already!

Yes, and we're waiting for you to build the life-sized, working model.

I show up to the office dressed in long skirts, a (Neo)Victorian shirtwaist, boots, watch and watch pin, and a fancy dress hat perched on my freshly curled hair, and smelling faintly of roses. For some reason, people keep looking at me oddly.... (I feel underdressed, though, as I've forgot my gloves at home.)

I only wish I knew how those things spontaneously generated... I fear that they may begin to infest homes in the same manner as certain pests or parasites.

How difficult would it be, do you think, to wire up a set of bagpipes with electrical pickups?

well, bagpipes use reeds to make the noise, so they need the movement of air in order to make any sound. You could easily use a woodwind microphone (or several, rather) to run to an amplifier and wire it up, but it would not be an "electric bagpipe" merely a mic'd one.

That being said, Yamaha does make some electric woodwind instruments as midi controllers, I suppose you could use the same airflow sensors on all the drones and the chanter and get the same effect as a "silent" electric bagpipe, but it'd be expensive.

Of course Roland made an electric accordion, so it may be in the works somewhere. you never know.

Ahhh...but...what can you do with a drunken sailor?

What's this band doing without a glass armonica? Somebody needs to get on that...

Well, we could put him in bed with the captain's daughter. Or shave his belly with a rusty razor. But these are just a suggestions, of course.

just as long as its early in the morning, I'm fine with it.

I'm very interested to know what sort of business you're in that allows you to come to the office dressed as such.
