    Ah You have to take Roland with a grain of salt.

    Morrison is spot on with his observations about the station Paying attention to it's listeners. Last year they explained their Celtic Winds show and their
    Bluegrass show based on what listeners wanted.

    You can actually listen to a Celtic wind right now and till 3pm ET at

    Thanks, Nelson - yeah, this went a good bit further than what I had initially meant. While Roland did make the offending comment, my post was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Had I actually been offended, I would have had no problem calling him or Martin to discuss it (I am a financial and volunteer supporter of the station). He and Roland are both great guys from the times I've interacted with them. Roland is a goof, and a really nice guy, and he really doesn't seem to have a mean spirited bone in his body.

    The smilies in the initial post were meant to indicate that it was tongue-in-cheek and that I was really not upset or angry about his comment for a couple of reasons: (1) Alex hit the nail on the head when he said that we really don't know what the video contained; and, (2) even if Roland meant it regarding kilted men in general, so what? He is allowed to have, and express his personal opinion. If his opinion bothers me, that's my problem, and conversely, if my opinion bothers him, it's his. I have developed pretty thick skin in regard to kilting, even here in the land of the Southern Scots, where kilting will simultaneously bring admiring comments, honest questions and rude remarks.

    I'm sorry that my post got so many truly upset, had it been something that I really considered demeaning or nasty, I would have been happy to lead the charge in complaining to station management.

    I'm very sorry that I failed in making the "lightheartedness" of my original post clear. WNCW is a great station that really cares about its listeners and its communities (it is broadcast in 4 large metro areas by repeater) and I am happy to continue to support them, even if somebody there may not like the way I dress.

    Apologies to all.
