Unexpected bagpipe music emanating from Penn Avenue near the Car Park, on our way to the Fireworks Night at PNC Park-
Steve pulled over to the curb. I got out of the car. Placed a bill in her case on the walk and asked if it would be all right to take a photo. She nodded.
A student at Carnegie Mellon University, piping for the Tartans, practicing, playing cool music for downtown Pittsburgh
AND imprinted on her card-
Bagpiping for Western Pennsylvania, (and doing a great job of it, too)
and at the bottom- Weddings, Funerals, Military Functions, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Social Events, Group and Individual Instruction. Solo and Band Prizes -US Canada and Scotland I believe it!
….. Her name is Liz Cherry and she is skilled in the way of the pipes!
I crossed Penn Avenue and took this view, to capture the surroundings.
I can hear it Ruth!
I love the sounds of the bagpipe. There was one at my brother’ funeral, which is unusual for a Jewish funeral. But he had always said he wanted a bagpiper. It was lovely.
Now that would be unexpected! I’ve seen many street performers and stopped to listen to more than a few. Never have I seen a person playing the bagpipes. What a treat! Thanks for sharing her with us, Ruth.
Great shots Ruth. 😀
Fantastic shots!
Good music and good shots.
Looks like an “interesting” place to set up shop and play.
