 Appropriate tune for just now: Welcome Chrismas Morning...

Why, what is it? Is it one of Jimmy's tunes?

 Just been announced Jimmy Shand died last night, aged 92.
 Appropriate tune for just now: Welcome Christmas Morning...
 Why, what is it? Is it one of Jimmy's tunes?

Yep - several people mentioned it on the commemorative "Take the Floor"
last night, and Robbie played Jimmy's own recording of it (which Ian
Powrie apparently plays every Christmas morning).

: Robbie Shepherd said in a tribute on the radio tonight that Jimmy Shand
: is up there with Niel Gow as a major figure.  That made me think- what
: will his influence be in a hundred years time?

Probably more than Niel Gow's, he was a far more creative composer.  As
players, neither was very innovative, were they?  They were simply the
best in their respective eras at idioms that were already established.

 But is it CathCAART or or CathCAIRT?...You're going to be in for an

HA! Well, I must tell you, we got into Edinburgh for our first visit to 
Scotland in 1998, checked into our bed  breakfast, and our host says, 
"Welcome, Mr.  Mrs. CathCAIRT" and Eric  I look at each other, realizing 
with some degree of shame and confusion that we have been mis-pronouncing our 
name! 

Us USAans say "CATHcart". By the end of our stay in Auld Reekie our hosts 
were saying "CATHcart" to try and favor us, while we were practicing 
"CathCAIRT" on anyone who'd listen.

Back in the states, I settle for saying "CathCAART". Otherwise it sounds, 
well, sort of like a fake accent, if you know what I mean. Luckily (or maybe 
not so luckily) there are no other Cathcarts left in my husband's family, or 
we'd be explaining to everyone why we insist on mis-pronouncing our name 
these past two years.
