We played at a "Scottish Bar" last night - here by the banks of the Mississippi. Since our repertoire is mostly Old Timey we were struggling to come up with Scottish based tunes which are also played here (such as Soldiers Joy, Ms McLeods Reel and The Flowers of Edinburgh) - but the mostly non Scottish crowd didnt mind our predominantly mid/US based fiddle music. The food however seemed to be making an effort to be authentic - including haggis- and the seemingly Scottish proprietor seemed quite bent on us trying it. I dodged it this time around but since this is likely a somewhat regular gig at some point I will have to confront the issue. Just what is it that I am putting in my mouth and will it make my backup guitar playing more scottish sounding?   Not really a music thread I spose but ..
