With the possible exception of the pedal steel guitar, no musical instrument is more beautiful, haunting, confounding, unforgiving or difficult to play, than the Uilleann (union) pipes. A true master, Liam O'Flynn could make them (and me) laugh and cry. My introduction to traditional Irish music was Planxty, anchored by Liam's incomparably virtuosity. There were lots of other traditional Irish bands (and pipers) to follow, but nobody could match Liam. In the mid-1960s England, one of the more popular graffiti phrases was "Clapton is God." Had the artists turned their ears westward, they might have reached a different conclusion.
