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!
