I'll take bagpipe dude over "beer bottle xylophone dude" any day. Although, I seem to be in the minority because I actually enjoy bagpipes. Still- I wouldn't mind if he learned a few more songs.
On January 15th I gave the Bagpipes Guy the following letter. He never played at my corner again. =) Sorry for the Anonymous post I don't have an LJ.

Dear Sir:
Please cease and desist the aggravating noise which you incessantly play on the streets of downtown San Francisco. The "music" you generate is as much a disservice to the human ear as it is to the bagpipes and Scottish culture. The shrill, unrelenting tone of your instrument penetrates the walls of buildings, disturbing the lives of hundreds of working people who cannot escape.
Should you continue to audibly intrude upon my workspace at 3rd and Market, I will investigate every legal avenue to have you cited for public disturbance, and invoke whatever laws possible to silence you. I suggest if you wish you continue your enthusiasm for public performance, that you take up a quieter instrument, or at the very least, learn a song.

Please stop.
