[scots-l] Mozilla open-source browser supports the Scots Tongue
BTW, for all Lallans speakers on here, I just noticed that the Mozilla Open-source browser has a localized build for the Scots tongue: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.html#moz_0.95 Toby Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [scots-l] Chisholm?
Hello All, Many thanks, Toby, for the info. I am unfamiliar with Angus as a performer (obviously), but he is worth giving look on your recommendation. I spent an evening with the lads of Wolfstone before their implosion and remember Duncan speaking fondly of a family member's musical talent. I thought their might be a connection. (The actual conversation is a bit fuzzy in memory, though...I do remember clearly that the drink was excellent 8^) Continuing my tangent (hoping nobody minds), does anyone know what Ivan Drever and Duncan Chisholm are up to these days? Both of them were marvelous to watch play and had strong trad roots. I have found some of their solo works but have not heard muych out of them since the Scots rock experiment of Wolfstone self-destructed. It is too bad, from my view, because they were equally entertaining acoustically. Two friends who had as much fun as skill playing with and off each other. Cheers, Christopher No. Angus Chisholm is one of the Chisholm's of Margaree Forks, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. In that family there are alot of really talented players like Cameron Chisholm and Maybelle Chisholm. Duncan Chisholm is of course from Scotland. I'm sure if you go far back enough, they could possibly be related. Of course if you go far back enough, I'm probably related to Roddie MacDowell :-) Beyond that, their styles are very different. Both great players though! = Christopher Rennie Network Manager, Archdiocese of Detroit Master's Candidate, Wayne State University, Library Information Science Program [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are what you do when it counts. __ Do You Yahoo!?

In 1935 John Campbell's father Dan J. Campbell, Angus Allan Gillis and Angus Chisholm traveled to Montreal to make the first recordings of Cape Breton fiddle music. Of course at that time, there was no way to correct recorded mistakes after the fact. Afterward, the three of them were discussing the recording session, and one of them commented that they probably had made some mistakes, and after a pause, Angus Chisholm replied, Yeah, but there's not many that can find them. :-) There *was* a mistake on one set of two strathspeys and one reel - one of them didn't pick up quickly enough in changing from The Braes of Mar to the second strathspey. The record company paid them a whopping $100 + traveling expenses for the recording.
