PEOPLE, Page 77Paid PiperBy Emily Mitchell
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.
