There’s actually a movie called The Fourth Wise Man. It’s good. He sells everything he has to buy several gems to be used on the journey but then the other three take off without him. He spends the next 33 years trying to catch up to them and ends up using each gem for something else. He finds the Messiah after His Resurrection. Or, I should say, the Messiah finds him. It’s one of those movies where, since Jesus isn’t really the main character and only shows up at the end, they don’t show His face. Just like The Robe (boring movie).
I wanted to be a classical composer, but all the good instruments already had somebody famous for composing on them: Bach had the organ, Liszt and Chopin the piano, Vivaldi and Paganini the violin, Telemann and Purcell the trumpet, Sousa the brass band, and so on. So I decided to specialize in quartets for bagpipe, kazoo, accordion, and banjo. Now all I need is a publisher.
Really?! I don’t know how Mary and Joseph could have possibly been polite to these people. A newborn baby that they are trying to get to sleep; and in come 3 old farts, a kid with a drum and then some yokel with bagpipes. It’s enough to make anyone scream!

I thought the 4th wise man was turned away for bringing a fruit cake.

The bagpipes, when stuffed there, made him a a bit leery when he walked (or tooted).

Before that, it was The Little Accordian Boy. And The Little Sitar Boy. And The Little Theremin Boy.

I love bagpipes, especially with drums. He and the Little Drummer Boy should team up.

Unless he is playing “Amazing Grace”, we’re not interested.

If you’re at all into bagpipes check out Ally the Piper on youtube.

Funny, but personally I like bagpipe music, when done right of course.

Bagpipes of one sort or another are a common folk instrument. Jesus and Mary were probably familiar with it.

If Mary Shelley had been alive back then and had written her book before Christ was born, they could’ve given him gold, Frankenstein, and myrrh.

That certainly did call his wisdom into question.

Ha! The bagpipes not only gets baby Jebus crying but drowns out the noise of the crying.
