Thanks! I never regret it when I'm too careful, only when not careful enough!

I don't have a peacock subscription. I'll see if there is other ways to view it.

To be honest, I've never watched Rugby, but I think I would enjoy going to a game. I see that the University of Maryland has a rugby team and they will be starting their season in the fall. That...

I love cable knit sweaters and have been wearing them since my mother hand kitted me one when I was in high school. I a natural off white one that would go very nice too, but I also really like the...

Depending on the weather and how casual you want to get, a polo style Irish sports jersey, sweat shirt or warmup jacket (soccer, rugby, etc.) would look nice and be very comfortable. I have a couple...

I own a bunch of watches. I took up fixing watches when everything shut down due to COVID. I have a few pocket watches too. One is a gold plated quartz Seiko. I just had to have it when I found...

I like the Gentleman's Gazette and think there is some great advice there. I find it particularly useful for stuff I find in thrift and vintage shops. However, I take what they say as advice rather...

I'm already bucking the rules by wearing a kilt, so in for a penny, in for a pound. I rather enjoy the freedom not to match, but I also like to match thighs sometimes too.

Good advice! I don't want to be mistaken for a sniper!

Thank you Grump, for the vote of confidence. I ran it past my teacher, before I bought and he approved. My teacher said get a long one, so that is what I got. Who know where I will go with this. ...

I ordered a McCallum long blackwood chanter with all the bells and whistles, but it still hasn't come in yet. It was coming from Scotland. I'm considering ordering a plastic one to hold me over if...

That was very cheery! I've never heard or seen electric pipes before.

I've been continuing my exploration of the less expensive scotches, especially in light of the fact that Glenmorangie 10yr, Laphroaig 10yr, and Bowmore 12yr all went up $20 a bottle in my area,...

The clarinet is a difficult instrument and when I was learning it, there was no online. Computers still had vacuum tubes. Interesting what you say about false fingerings.
It is good to...

Thank you OC Richard for that detailed explanation. I haven't heard "crossing noises" but it sounds like I wouldn't like it! Long ago, I did play the clarinet, although I was not very good at it,...

I talked to my neighborhood piper to see if he knows a good teacher. It turns out that he teaches. We talked about what chanter to get. I'm on my way! We will start as soon as I get my chanter.

I'd like to add only one thing. It is always heartening to see a true master at work!

Looks like I will be checking out the Sandy Jones book. I am familiar enough with interval and arpeggio from the piano that I should be able to focus on acquiring the skills. I expect that arpeggio...

Thank you all for your comments. They were all very helpful. I will seek out a teacher. I'll start by talking to my new piper friend. I will pick up one of the recommended books and a long...

I have bagpipes coming my way. I am expecting them to be unplayable, for a country that starts with P, but I only bought them because the come with a kilt and fly plaid in a tartan that I wanted...

Awesome kilt! I can tell from my casual kilt from USA Kilts that they do great work. It can only be so much the better in wool. The tartan looks great too!

Very sad. My connection to Scotland is through my grandmother, who's maiden name is MacPherson. My wife and I have talked about attending a clan gathering and I had hoped to have met him, even if...

Went to the Library Store today and bought 3 books of Burns's poetry. I'm going to pick out a few poems to read and practice! I cleaned them out.

Actually, I'm going to make my own. I found an online recipe that looks pretty good. My wife is not big on eating offal so I have to break her in slowly!

Burns Night sounds like it might be time to open that bottle of 10 year old Glenmorangie that I bought on sale and was saving for a special occasion.
