Oh, jeeze youse guys!
My guest at my Christmas concerts this year was the wonderful Ed Miller, the pride of Edinburgh, Scotland, now living in Austin TX.
He is one of the finest singers anywhere and a great storyteller to boot.
He did a moving recitation of the Christmas story in Lowland Scots dialect, which he translated into "English."

Ed also told the story of being in Stornoway with a lady who was a Gaelic speaker. She sang a Christmas song in her native tongue saying it was an old Gaelic air. Ed recognized the melody and sang the English version at our show. The tune was "Morning Has Broken."
The audience singing along was a thing of beauty.

Happy New Year Mudcatters.
