The Quiet Man

[beloitpiper]

Having grown up in Ireland I think I think I need to explain the lack of sporrans.

...you didn't really explain why they didn't wear sporrans...

...you didn't really explain why they didn't wear sporrans...

I think its more tradition more than anything else.

The sporran was never worn for irish dancing, How ever in scottish highland dancing its moved to the side.I have seen quite a number of Irish pipe bands who did not wear the sporran.

But then in my time I have seen a lot of kilts which were not fit to be kilts.

The dancing kilts here always had less pleats and I have worn kilts that were held on the apron and hips by velcro and a prayer.

I watched the Quiet Man not too far in the past. It's a great movie and one of the few John Wayne movies I can stand to watch.

This has long been one of my favorite movies. I have it on DVD. I might still have my VHS copy, too.

I probably don't have the quote right, but my favorite line was:

"and here's a fine stick to beat the lovely lady with...."

or something like that.......

Great flick.............

My favorite line is something like, "Have the decency to refrain from hitting the man until he is your husband, and can hit you back."

It is something like that.
