You just don't know good sound when you hear it. Not that I'd have
expected anything else -- after all, your people's idea of music is to
stick wooden tubes into goatskin bags and puff them up until they whine
and wail :-P

True with only one or two notable exceptions. Music became either
trivial or disharmonic after the romantic period.

But the pipes were designed for peoples like you. To let you know that
we were coming and to give you time to hide. :-P

I strongly disagree; there's plenty contemporary (read: 20th century and
later) non-trivial harmonic music to find. As for the trivial or
disharmonic, I guess it has always existed; it's just that it is long
forgotten as far as romantic and pre-romantic times are concerned.

That's Bavarian, not German :-P
Besides, at least they use equipment that /could/ be employed to produce
sound remotely worthy of being called music.
(I'm glad you didn't mention Karlheinz Stockhausen though. /That/ was
true German crime against music, against which even your pipes pale in
comparison.)

Well it is all a matter of personal opinion, isn't it.
I like Bach and can't stand Mahler, my wife feels the opposite. It is
true that most people I know can't stand the sounds of the pipes. But
their blood doesn't rise with it. Mine does, my gain. I don't like pop,
my loss.
BTW Is Bavaria not part of Germany or is that some parochial prejudiced
creeping in?

Not part of Germany, no.
Part of our Federal Republic, yes. Sneaked their way in, somehow. Still
have their own consitution, which they've just put on hold for as long
as they happen to claim that Bavaria be part of the Federal Republic of
Germany.
Entirely different culture. Heck, they don't even drink beer. Entirely
different language, too. They've tried to introduce German, but they
just can't seem to learn it. Austrians in disguise, is what they are.
The front yard of the Balkans.
Don't get me started on Bavarians...
... What? Prejudiced? Me? Never!
(... shuffles off, ranting on...)

Don't get him started on what is beer or what is beer worthy of the
name. :-)

My world view has been shaken to the core. Bavaria the Beer Walhalla of

We could be getting into a "Top Vs Bottom" fermentation flame war with this.
Would you believe that my first try at brewing beer. I spread the yeast
on a slice of toast and floated it on top of the wort.

Three fellow students -- one originally from Munich, one originally from
Cologne, and one originally from Dortmund -- visit a bar. The guy from
Munich orders a "Weizen" (the stuff the Bavarians down from 0.5 to 1.0
liter tankards), the guy from Cologne orders a "Kölsch" (the stuff that
people from Cologne and vicinity sip from 0.2 liter cylindrical glasses).
The guy from Dortmund orders a Coke.
Puzzled, the other two ask him why he doesn't order a "Pils" (the stuff
people in the Ruhr area drink from 0.3 or 0.33 liter stemmed glasses).
"Naah," he declines with a gesture of generosity. "If you won't have a
beer, neither will I."
Now, what do we learn from the story?
That the students are probably immatriculated at the university of
Cologne, as Kölsch isn't widely available outside its region of origin.
