Killted Bluegrass Saturday Nite

[Jackson]

I'm from Alamosa and it's good to know you guys are workin' the San Luis Valley. Can't make it to Crestone tonight, but, perhaps will be able to one of these times. Keep me posted on your schedule and will definately be watching for you at Milagros. Crestone is a slightly different crowd, all right. I'm sure that wearing a kilt there will raise nary an eyebrow--you can see most anything there.

Awesome! Kilts and bluegrass are two of my favourite things in life. I tend not to mix them, though, mainly because playing my mandolin in a kilt seems awkward. My sporran has to move out of the way, and I worry about scratching the back on a buckle or something. I mainly just play at home with my wife, house concerts, at local jams, and small-venue public events.

Bill Monroe was very aware of his Scottish heritage. In 1982 I painted an oil on canvas of him and presented it to him in Maine at the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival and when I told him I was a Duncan he said "that's Scottish, that's where my people come from" and shook my hand. The painting hangs in his museum at Bean Blossom.

Bluegrass music and kilts are two of the great loves of my life also. Many of the mountain folks were of Scottish origin so there is a real connexion there.

I don't remember the year, but when Steve Earle was doing his bluegrass tour with Del McCourey (sp?) I caught the show on St. Patrick's Day and wore my kilt with a "In a perfect world, Steve Earle would run Nashville" T-shirt. Love me some bluegrass music!
