    That would look really smart, especially if the kilt is in black barathea wool from somewhere like "21st Century Kilts". Black Utilikilts, whilst excellent, just don't make the grade for formal wear.



    I much regret that I cannot play any instrument in spite of having piano lessons for years and a couple of years private piping instruction, I cannot play a note! I just seem to have a mental block with music scores and could never master sight reading at all.

    I played a little piano and side drum when I was younger, and have just started learning the pipes. I'm finding that the distance from my brain to my fingers has increased dramatically as I've gotten older. I do love the cello, though - it's one of my favourite instruments.

    I started to try and learn music... But I have found that I share Hamish's mental block.
