Is that bagpipes at the end? It sounds like a flute or oboe to me

I thought it was bagpipes but now you say that it might be oboe, I’ll have to listen again!
Yup, it was oboe! How could I mishear that? I was so sure it was bagpipes for the longest time! Well that certainly was an interesting observation!
Haha bagpipes always have more than one note playing at the same time, while if it sounds like a duck it's usually oboe
Both are instruments you usually don’t hear, so I don’t think I could tell the difference between the two especially when there’s other stuff going on at the same time, well the more you know!Haha bagpipes always have more than one note playing at the same time, while if it sounds like a duck it's usually oboe
I paid my due in the school orchestra back in the day 
Surprisingly I was never a band kid, I got into piano in maybe sixth grade? And also a piano wasn’t really part of my schools‘ band so I was never needed, but oh well
I wish I played piano though, that's the best instrument! Well that and guitars. What's your favourite music to play?
This song is so crazy I love it

Kinda surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but we're in the midst of some high quality animal cinema right now - has anyone seen the new Planet of the Apes?
Personally, I haven't yet, mostly because
I hate very ape I see, from chimpan-a to chimpanzee

Music as in song or song genre? Both I would probably answer with some kind of ragtime/old west piano, I can only play two; Maple Leaf Rag and Oh Suzanna. They’re complicated but fun!
That's cool! Love a bit of olde timey saloon music

No you'll never make a monkey out of me Ahhh she's so good! Wildflowers and Wild Horses is my kind of jam
IKR?? I first heard it when I was driving home from Boston once, and I was like “Wait a minute. This is GOOD!“ And then I listened to it like nonstop for the rest of the drive. Such a good song. Her new one Hang Tight Honey is also pretty goodAhhh she's so good! Wildflowers and Wild Horses is my kind of jam
I had to take my dog to the emergency vets tonight he got a back injury playing fetch! I thought his stomach was distended and got really scared, cause that is a sign of very bad things. Luckily it wasn't anything so serious, although I feel so bad for him having back pain. He's hitting middle age and so am I so I can relate! He got some pain meds and is sleeping them off now. I got so freaked out I should have gone to bed hours ago, but being me I had to calm myself with a gin and some gaming first. Waiting in the emergency room at midnight is not great, but my main focus was poor Tigger and making sure he was okay. I wish I could speak dog so he could tell me what's wrong. I read his signs the best I can and I swear he and I have a telepathy thing going on, but it's never enough. I also wish our lifespans were more in sync 
I'd give him some of my years if I could.
Sorry for the sad ramble, I just love him so much.

Ow, sorry to hear that, but glad that it is not something more serious!I had to take my dog to the emergency vets tonight

I can relate very well. Mine is still a puppy, so I am not thinking about it too much, but the thought of her being around only for +- 15 years is painful. I can never relate to people that say that “it is just a dog, it is not your baby”. Yeah, it is not my baby, but it is our family member and I love her as such.

Thanks guys, I was feeling a bit embarrassed about my post this morning! Midnight vet visit sent me a bit loop-de-loop, especially as the other people there were in floods of tears, apparently saying goodbye to their dogs for the last time, I guess it got me in a sombre mood.
He's resting up but it hurts him to move around, so sad to see but at least it wasn't something more serious. Luckily I can work from home and look after him.
Yeah exactly, he's family. I don't like to think of him as my 'pet' or my 'child', but he's definitely family. There's a great word in Hawaiian, 'kahu', which sort of translates to animal guardian, but also implies a deep spiritual connection between you and the animal you live with. It's less hierarchical than the words we have in our language and I like that. It's interesting how language has the power to shape thought.
