Not fair, John, to attribute my genius to that plagiarist Flowers. So
my parents used to lock me in the cellar with nothing to read but old
Rupert the Bear annuals, resulting in an occasional uncontrollable urge
to spout rhyming couplets. That's no reason to strip me of the glory
that is justly mine and mine alone.

Silly Season approaching, I guess. Who is there and who isn't? Is Erica
still lurking? 

OK, lurkers, your time has come. All you folks who have never (or
rarely) contribute to the list, speak now. Introduce yourselves, tell
us something about yourselves. Where are you? What is your interest in
Scots music? 

Tracy, tell us about the Keith festival. David K, what are your plans
for the Scottfest? Ross, how long have you been playing? Eric, is Bob
still fiddling? Kate, how is David's career going? Gaye, did you ever
play music with Jim Tweedie? Philip, are you from the Kelso area
originally? Dan, d'you play Scots music on the mandolin? Bruce, Sue,
Tom, Rita, Charlie, Janice, Jack, John C, Keith...come on guys, let's
have a party.

Sorry 'bout dat! It is amazingly easy to get such quotes wrong.  It's
also  easy  to  let  the  mail reader figure it out, and then you can
blame the software for getting it wrong.

Yeah; I wonder how many lurkers there are.  It's normal for lists  to
be  dominated  by  a  handful  of  voices,  who  seem  to be having a
discussion amongst themselves with few clues that there are  hundreds
of  others  (not to mention the Echelon/Carnivore folks ;-) listening
in undetected.

Maybe we should also ask the lurkers to post their  current  favorite
tune ...

First priority - get our local paper NOT to spike my letters on the subject!

So far I've got myself dragged into an impromptu 1-minute interview with
Michael Aspel to go out next April in Antiques Roadshow from
Mellerstain. I tipped them off about the bicentenary and he's used it in
his intro, and done a rather silly bit of film with a souvenir Scott
book of mine where he taps the wooden cover ('Made from trees grown on
the Abbotsford Estate').

They will probably leave that entire bit on the cutting room floor...

 Hi Listers,
 
 I'm looking for lyrics to 'Gallant Murray' (sung by Andy Stewart).  Does
 anyone know of any lyrics sites on the net?  I've tried Mudcat... 
 they don't
 have 'em.
 
 Thanks!
 
 Kate
