From SA, Texas - so Madainn mhath (Hi) Y'all!
Hi, everybody - I've been lurking for the past couple of days, doing my research for an upcoming Burns' Night (I know, kind of a rough way to start with Ancient Dress - but I'm wearing military Mess uniform, so I only have to deal with tradition from the waist down... ;)) and decided this is something worth getting involved in. I've always loved the pipes, and have gotten (more) into the modern Cetic music movement recently - have been to a few Highland Games and always enjoyed 'em - so now it's time to take the plunge and go the rest of the way. What the Heck; I just passed 20 years' combined active and reserve military service, so if they throw me out for being a kook I'll still have my pension at 58. 
Anyway, I look forward to making new friends here. Knees in the Breeze!

Burns Night...
Hi, everybody - I've been lurking for the past couple of days, doing my research for an upcoming Burns' Night (I know, kind of a rough way to start with Ancient Dress - but I'm wearing military Mess uniform, so I only have to deal with tradition from the waist down...
Actually, the Mess Dress is much more appropriate for a Burns Supper than "ancient dress", since the first Burns Supper was held by NCOs of the Argyll Militia, and Burns himself served in the Dumfries Volunteers. 
Welcome, and tell us more about the Burns Night you're attending!
Cheers, 
Todd

Welcome from SE Arizona. O'Neille
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
