"The centerpiece is of course readings from Burns' works in  impenetrable
but charming Scots accents, including his fabled address to the  haggis
(a sort of gigantic organ-meat sausage). There is also a free  buffet
for those afraid to eat the haggis, as well as a fine selection  of
Scots ales and whiskeys."
 
....I beg your pardon, whatever do you mean by "impenetrable Scots  accents"? 
(kidding, of course....even I couldn't understand my ain faither  at 
times).....it sounds like a really fun night...so toast a wee dram to the  Bard for me 
and I'm sure someone will get around to singing "My Luve's like  a Red, Red 
Rose"....my favourite of his songs. You're becoming more Scots  than me....I so 
wish I could attend.  You can keep the Haggis...I  wouldn't eat it either 
<G>, but if they have Bridies don't tell us, I  don't want to drool.  Above 
all....have fun!
 
 Harp content?  I'm feeling obliged to practice the  long put aside Scottish 
tunes I grew up playing on my tremolos ever  since hearing Donald Black, you, 
James Conway, Grant Dermody etc at  SPAH.  I'd forgotten just how much that 
music still stirs my blood.
