I was curious what a bagpipe with only one drone would sound like. And Al Hirt could have taken a lesson or two from Ms. Carling.

The second video is reminiscent of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who played multiple reed instruments at once. I think he's appeared on WU.

Good memory, GES! I did once do a post on RRK, with a video of him using multiple horns.

Apparently she plays with family members. Imagine a King Family that swings. Gerd Carling on clarinet is awesome in Chattanooga Choo Choo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAEmWkqLJv0) and Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqMr0zqHXQw).
