- <p> The thrum and skirl may sound funny, but it's not smart to
- laugh in the presence of Nancy Crutcher Tunnicliffe. One of the few
- U.S. players to make a living from piping, Tunnicliffe was a
- soloist last week with Washington's National Symphony Orchestra.
- She began learning the instrument 16 years ago, she says, when "a
- little picture of a bagpipe popped into my head." At Highland
- feasts, duties of her rank include "piping in the haggis" -- a dish
- of sheep innards and oats. "You get used to it," she says.
