Thanks SlowHound. I'll be down not too far from you on Mem. Day weekend. I'll message you.
I missed this one. Mighty fine.
Thanks Jamie! That trip is on my bucket list for sure. In the mililtary here there's often a brass bell hanging at the end of the bar. If anyone rings it they buy a round for all. Sounds like a similar tradition which I'm sure came over here with our ancestors.
Nice playing on a great build, Jim. As we say in Scotland " you're on the bell" which means that its the other person who has to buy the drink, ( not always because its his turn, as the person saying this can be pleading poverty, having lost all his money on the horses etc ) BTW I don't work for the Tourist Board lol
To cut a long story short ( which I don't usually do btw! ), I will be " on the bell" if you and Nancy ever visit here
Cheers
Jamie
Thank you Nancy! Yup, Jason's got it! Nice bit of family background.
Yup I hear that every-time I hear the pipes I get the same shivers ~mine came from Ireland and Scotland on both sides never knew my Grandparents I was a late in life baby and two passed young~ your mom was something I bet! Very impressive! So That is where the talent originates eh?! My grandaddy use to play the fiddle my mom told me he would go up in the attic and play a sorrowful tune for his wife who died so young ~my daddy was really talented he played banjo+ harp Jason got the talent! I was last in line lol thanks for sharing! Meowwww^^
Thanks Nancy. My Grampa McReynolds came here from Scotland as a young boy. As far as I know he played no instruments but his daughter (my mom) was a child prodigy classical pianist. I never felt a connection with classical music but music from Scotland and Ireland sent shivers down my spine so I think there might be something deep in the genes that remembers.
