But i took her to the highland games this year in Enumclaw and she enjoyed her self alot, she especially likes the Dancers. Slowly she is starting to take a interest and break that 1950's "everyone conform" attitude
My grandma on my dad's side plays the dulcimer, and before moving to SC, the group she played with did Celtic music, and I have heard kilts were involved. My grandpa doesn't say a word about it, though he is a WW2 vet, I think there might be a chance he served near kilted people, it wouldn't really surprise me. Of course, my aunt Helen brought back some "Alexnder" tartan from Scotland many years ago, if my grandma finds it, I might be able to figure just what tartan it really is.
