Thread Name: Essential Robbie Burns
Subject: RE: Essential Robbie Burns
A story about Burns:

He had a little-known and short-lived marriage to a woman named Nera. She played fiddle, but was so scratchy and terrible at it, every time she practiced, it drove him to go out roaming the country. So.......

"As Nera fiddled, Burns roamed."
