thanks GUEST for entering into the spirit(sic) of things. This secretive santa claims to be (or sound like) a gaelic son of Kenneth, as well as a whisky's son. Waterson sounds a bit too English, and also none of the relevant Mudcatters are called Waterson.(Unless he's referring to his real name, which would be a bit of a cheat as how could I know that?).
   Come on Secret santa, I'm still flummoxed, and trying reeeeeeeeally reeeeeeally hard.
