The "Yet Another Digital Tradition" page has moved to

Funny - when I tried to go to
http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/lookup?ti=MYMOUNT I got a nice
error message with a quote from the Tao Te Ching.
The song is here:

I thought of this when I saw the reqest:
Oh I love Scotland's glens, and whatever else we lose
Leave us our glens, our glorious glens
Oh our mountains are grand, Ben Lomond Ben Nevis too
You can keep all our Bens, only leave us our glens
Glen Fiddich, Glen Dronach, Glen Livet Glen Grant
Can you do without them, If you must know I can't
Put a drop in a glass of Glen Spey or Glen Drotter
It's a hell of a wonderful way to drink water
...
...but it's obviously completely unrelated.
