Do bagpipers have any volume control? I'm pretty sure they don't. I wonder whether he ever tried playing in a closed subway car? Probably not, if he's still alive. (I love bagpipe music, but there's a time and a place.)

Washington, D.C. apparently started auditioning buskers to perform inside the stations, where busking was previously illegal. The quality varies all the way from "Wow!" to "Either he forged that permit or whoever auditioned him was tone-deaf." As far as I know, they haven't let in any of Washington's infamous bucket-drummers (yet). And I might object if a clarinetist started playing pig-in-pain altissimo squeals in an echoing subway station.
