Well, Mike, I really appreciate knowing that the has been hammered into
the ground... that's very valuable input... I don't go to Scottish games
and I have never heard the tune in way or form... so I'll still continue
to search for it to complete my education... but reallyglad to know that
it's probably a nono for the gig. Advice on what NOT to play is maybe as
valuable as info on what to play. Thanks again.. Diane
