    Saturday eve on board Balclutha

    Last night I went to a "Sea Music" concert on board the Balclutha, a 3 masted square rigger built in Glasgow in 1886. The performers were Linsey Aitken and Ken Campbell from Loch Lomond in Scotland. Linsey played the cello and Ken played guitar and Northumbrian pipes. The music was wonderful and a good time was had by all. It was over with all too soon.

    Love that ship! Thanks for the pics. As mentioned before when I was a wee lad of 13 I'd visit the ship and pretend I was crew in the olden days.
