Bob Esty of Clam Chowder does it as well. It suits.

If you like Rufus then you'll probably also like Rare Aire, which is a Canadian Jazz, Funk, Fusion, ... bagpipe band. They're wonderful!

I was lucky to go to one of their concerts in Atlanta a long while back. At the start of the show, they cut the lights. In the pitch black an ominous voice boomed out into the hall about "The scourge from overseas that wrought noise and consternation when it came to North American shores ... the bagpipe!" With that, suddenly the two pipers turned on lights attached to glass frames and lit into some badass hornpipes. They strode around the audience each shining twin brilliant cones of white into the audience. It was like Smaugh, two fold, and with bagpipes. M-A-G-I-C.

The mix with the bass player, keyboard, and drum kit works surprisingly well.

A bit of Rufus trivia: he plays the pipe with the hands switched from how pipers normally play; he plays with the right hand at the top of the chanter and, of course, the left at the bottom.

... and we all know I ain't no gentlman. Oy!
