Given that I can't play any musical instrument, today's theme of "a song you wish you could play" is pretty pointless. However, I wish I could play some form of bagpipe, so these tracks showcase a form of pipe.
Track 1 - "The Dreaming of the Bones" by Davy Spillane, featuring Sinead O'Connor
Davy Spillane is one of the world's leading uillean pipe players, a master of the ethereal wail which is so haunting.
Track 2 - "Gabriel's Oboe" performed by Carlos Nunez
Originally composed by Ennio Morricone for the film The Mission, this version is played on the gaita - a form of bagpipe from Galicia in Spain.
Track 3 - "The Three Pipers" by Carlos Nunez
Another Carlos Nunez track, in which he blends the sounds of the Breton pipes, Great Pipes from Scotland and the Uillean pipe.
