that's exactly why I changed my mind about wearing a kilt at all. I know I've mentioned before that my wife had tried to get me to wear a kilt for special family occaisions (her family, not mine) but the idea of wearing a tartan somehow didn't sit right with me, even though I have Irish, and probably Scots (via Barbados) lineage (not to mention Cherokee and, of course, African).

Like Hamish said, I didn't/don't feel "entitled". I have to admit, though, that Taylor Ancient is pretty sweet!
