Greetings from the Knoxville area! I actually spent a year living in Independence and some of my wife's family still lives in the KC area. One of my first kilts was also a UK (black workmans) and I still wear it regularly, so congrats on a great first kilt, welcome to the rabble! Also, be prepared, once you start down the kilted path, forever will it dominate your destiny...

Oh, what kind of band to you play in?
