Didn't even occur to me

[Mikilt]

I was kilted this past weekend at a music festival in Madison, WI. I camped at a a group site and in between the bands performing I participated in some informal "jams" (just a bunch of folk all playing music together for the sake of playing)

I am really not much of a musician, but other people who were present during the jam sessions came up to me and struck up conversations later in the day. Since I didn't feel that I stood out musically, I wondered what drew them to me.

Oh yeah, I was wearing a kilt. It's just a natural conversation starter. I met some really cool people with whom I share a love of bluegrass music and I got to know them better than I might have if I had been wearing trousers.
