"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

Thanks!
My folkie skills are spotty, but I'm willing & have some flexibility. I've dabbled at playing fiddle tunes on the flute. Usually, the modern flute. I gather that most of the Scots and Irish flutists use a "later" model than the one-keyed baroque flutes I have.
I have the classical mindset to some extent (an almost literalist view of notes on the page). I've noticed that folks who play without written music have incredible memory skills, and I tend to frustrate them by not being able to learn a song as readily.
A rock-n-roll friend once referred to us classical geeks as "typists."

It's nice to see all the familiar place names from the Carolinas and Georgia. I'm on the east side of Columbia, near Richland Mall.

The tartans after which I particularly lust are the Wallace and MacGregor "hunting" --- even though our chiefs may not completely approve. It's said that the last Wallace would accept the green tartan "under duress," but I am very fond of it.
Having the pix that some of you have posted, the MacGregor tartans (plural) are a must; and I'm increasingly desirous of the Carolina. You all know the feeling, I'm sure!

Glad to see you found us. Now you just need to talk to Matt Newsome about the Carolina District Tartan. http://www.carolinatartan.com/
