I dread people calling it at the slow session; I like it slow, but no matter how slow I start it, it gains momentum and ends up far too fast - in my opinion. Another pet hate is "Da Slockit Light" which I regard as a lament. When our fiddlers get hold of it it becomes a jolly canter. I don't know how much of that is simply my feeling, or if others just think I'm being pernickety. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
