Welcome to the studio. Build the bagpiper. Kind of a regular recurring figure here on the Dave Ryan show. My favorite time of year. Time of year. Time of year. Thank you for having me. It's for, it's St. Patrick's Day, so I'm going to be, you're, you're here in the full regalia. Yeah. Of the kilt and the tie and the Scottish look and you got the, the octopus under your arms. Yeah. Are you going to be out and about later today? Yes, we are. We're going to be out. We're not doing the prayed day, the weather's a little too cold.

2:01Okay. Pipes, unfortunately, but we'll be hitting O'Garris and all the bars around the cities. You can check, check out my Facebook or Minnesota Pikes and Drums dot com and see where our schedule is. Hopefully we see you out. No, riding a bus together is what I learned. Is it like a pipe and pipe and drums or what is this? Just bagpipers or what you have pipes and drums, including base, tenors and snares. Oh, okay, good. This is legit. Yeah, good. How'd you get the day off from holiday station stores to take the whole day? Well, I just asked, they know it's a big deal for me. Yeah. Okay. They'll find that you off. This is one. Okay. I have to work an extra shift. Do you have a partner because I guess if you have a partner, this person probably is really annoyed that you play the bagpipes. Do you have a partner? I do have a partner. Yeah. I have my wife and I need to play out the garage or in the yard. Well, both, but she doesn't mind, actually. She's very good at tuning them all. That's probably how you got her, right?

3:01Yeah, I think so. I think you'll watch this. I feel the bagpiper. You can watch them on YouTube, Dave Ryan TV. You're going to regale us with some sort of, is this an Irish tune that you're going to play or are you going to play a pop tune? Well, I've been doing this for like four years now. So I got the pop tunes together and I called Jenny. Well, I texted her a couple of weeks ago because she usually waits the last night. I do. I texted him the night before St. Paddy's day. I was like, hey, so you're coming in tomorrow, right? Right. So I'm like, I have lots of time and I put it off until last night. Or else it doesn't matter if you let me know earlier or not. But I'll do some pop tunes for you. See if you can guess. It's like name that. Name that too. Name that. I was listening to that one yesterday. You took most of my tunes. So I wanted you. Oh, man. I'm sorry. Let's try it, Bill. Let's see how we do on the day. It should be pretty easy. Hopefully you'll be able to guess this. OK.

4:08Oh, man, all I heard was amazing Grace. No idea. It's not amazing Grace. I know. I know. I know. I know. I'm literally humming it. Oh, no. I thought this would be easy. I wanted that way. Let me do it again. Let's do it again. OK. I wanted that way. Right. Come on. Maybe I said I'm mad at it. OK. Now I think I didn't say that. I thought that was easy. Well, the problem is the bagpipes are out of tune.

5:09But they're always out of tune. That's a bad one. They're all out of tune. Our physical part is the continuous noise and the odd tuning. I think is why this is difficult for non-pipers to recognize. Yes, it is challenging. It is challenging. Let's try another one. Another pop song that you've heard on KWB on the bagpipes. So this one's a way back. And my way back machine goes way further back than yours. Oh, nice. This is going to 1961. Ooh. You know this is your chance. However, you have to go back to 1784 to find the original melody. Wow. Oh, my God. Dave, you were around. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I think you graduated high school. I was a sailor in the royal name. Yeah. So you were in your early life?

6:14Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the way it went. Good. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was really easy to decipher, I think. Yeah, I love that one. Okay. I need a mic for my bagpipes. No, he's coming. Bloody loud. All right. Build the bagpipes in four St. Patrick's Day. Let's do a couple of more. Another name that too. Another box on. All right. Here's one. I know. You know. Okay. We'll see if I can play crack.

7:34Date of a feel. Yeah. Oh, okay. Man, I had, I felt like I had it in the first like four notes and then you kept going. I'm like, I don't know. I don't have an idea. I don't have an idea. You have an idea. Oh, man. Dang. I don't know it. That was beat it by Michael Jackson. Can you play? Can you play now that we know what it is? Yeah. No, we don't. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Now you got it right there. Very nice. Wow. Thank you. Somebody texted in my dog is in my car listening and going crazy. Oh, deaf dog. So he loves it. So it's okay. Yeah. Let's do one more if you will, Bill. One more one more pop song and name that too. All right.

8:35I thought it was more difficult one, but maybe you'll find it easier to smell more modern. I have to get the tune in my head because I don't know modern music. Oh, see? Also, I feel like I know that one too. I don't. I'm not hearing anything. Yes, yes, Taylor Swift song. It is. Okay. Is it a failure? Nope. Style. I mean, style. Never go out. No.

9:35That's not style. Oh, Dave's giving up. I don't know. Bill. He's always in one. That is cruel summer. Croissant. Play it. Play it again. Yeah. Now that we know what it is on the bagpipes, it's Bill. Yeah. Okay. Bill, you're amazing. If I want to follow you on Instagram, is there a way to do that? Yeah, you can look for me on Instagram. I'm Bill Zadra. Okay. I don't know what the tag is. I think it's like new piper. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. New piper one. New piper one. I know, Bill. I know what you think. Yeah. New piper one. I don't. And then look for Bill later to Ed O'Garris in different St. Patty's Day events. Yes. Okay. And then you also have a Facebook page and stuff and I think Dave asked before how you can get

10:37it involved in like bagpipes. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. MinnesotaPipesandrums.org. We offer free lessons in piping and drumming. Cool. Yeah. You can join the community. We can teach you how to do exactly what I'm doing and a lot of fun doing. It's my best day of the year. What a very cool passion to have. I mean, talking about different. That is super cool. Well, thanks, Dave. Bill, happy St. Patrick's Day as always. Thanks for coming in. Absolutely. Anytime. We'll see you next time. See you on my birthday. I'm Chelsea Haller from Dear Chelsea. After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials. And there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself. But the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about.

11:38And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that.
