I have another question or two that might be considered ignorant.

Why did some posters ask if Seamus was going to wear a kilt?

I thought that kilts were only worn by Scottish males.

Or was that an inside joke having to do with a [mild or not so mild?]rivalry between Irish and Scots [that I also didn't know about until I came to Mudcat]

Also during his Pittsburgh sets Seamus mad several joking references to Scots concern for spending money. And he also called attention to some Scottish guys sitting in the front and asked if their were any others in the bar/restaurant. The guys in the front raised their beers in salute and the audience applauded them. So this doesn't appear to be a heavy duty rivalry.

I would appreciate it if someone would share information about these tangential questions.

Thanks.
