Cool!! Jim is THE BEST instructor. I've taken lessons from several different people in the band (mostly when I was starting out), and he is _really_ good as a teacher. He's the only one I take lessons from now. He's very picky, particularly about timing and musicality, and it really pays off in terms of not developing bad habits. Can't wait to have you in the band! If you really work at it, you can play with us this summer!!
Kiltmaking is an expensive hobby, but it's a whole lot cheaper than kiltbuying!!!
BTW - if you don't care which tartan you use, I have several lengths of Strome weight that I'd sell to you at what I paid for them. One is the Modern MacGillivray (although it's not quite the right shade of red to match our band kilts) and the other is the Modern MacCallum, which is a very handsome tartan. Both are in Strome weight. I'll check to see if I have any others, but I think that's it at the moment.
When you asked what you should focus on, what did you mean?

Hmmm- your kilt looked pretty good for a first go! I'd need to look at it a little more closely to make any suggestions. I can go that some time, if you want!
BTW - did I see you yesterday at the Cortland Pumpkin Fest??
