Anyone been to Kilsyth? I have a friend who lives there now, says it's boring, in his thick Glasgowegian brogue. Is he right? :-) He's probably just spoilt by the cultural buzz and 24/7 excitement of Cumbernauld next door. I think the nearest regular Scottish music is Fintry one way and

Thank you for the correction! I just started using a new program and didn't realize I had not made the adjustment. Big improvement, but you still haven't quite beaten it - superfluous X- header lines and too much quoted (and double-spaced) text. The default settings you started with appear to

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. But Da Slocket Light *IS* a lament and should be played as one! But
