    two Carolina kilts, one great concert

    Thursday night (3/18/10) the Mrs. and I attended a wonderful concert by "Celtic Crossroads." http://www.celticcrossroads.ie/index.html
    If they're going to be near you, I highly recommend their show.

    We met davidlpope and his lovely wife. Here's a shot him and me in the lobby at intermission:


    After the show we "ran into" a few more kilties:


    David knows the couple beside him, and the young man beside me is a recent high school grad who's very interested in all all things Scottish.

    We got to talk with a few folks about starting a St. Andrew's Society for the foothills (and maybe mountains) of western North Carolina. It was a very enjoyable evening, and several people were giving us "the eye". Can you blame them?

    Hey, I recognize those kilts! (And the handsome gents wearing them!).

    Looks like you guys had a good time. I hope your wives enjoyed the show, as well.

    How would you have seen these kilts before?

    They said they enjoyed it. Mine took the pictures.

    Great photos, good luck with the society, would you take an out of towner who's in your neck of the woods every once in a while?

    Of course. Let us know when you'll be in the area.


    David,

    Thanks for putting up the photos. The show was quite good- wonderful fiddler and wonderful male Irish step dancer.

    Cordially,

    David
