The Same Ol' Helen

Yesterday, I drove home to switch cars with my dad. On the way, I stopped by Helen's house to hang out. I mentioned that the three CDs I had with me were becoming repetitive. Helen promptly pulled out a Scottish Rogues CD and gave it to me for the ride home.

The Scottish Rogues are a bagpipe and drum group. The first ten seconds of each song are exactly the same. Each song includes a guy whooping about three-quarters of the way through the song and ends with a bunch of people clapping and cheering and asking for Jimmy to play some more music. In other words, I had a hard time telling that each song was different. And here I was thinking Helen would give me something that wasn't repetitive....
