Sure Mick, when I get back home I'll send you a pic of the sash. I almost forgot but it's also featured on my last CD, part of the inner artwork, a superimposed shot which makes it look like it's flying in the wind over a rooftop.. a weave from Langstaff's family tree, much like the Scots and their tartan....

There's a few Canadiana images in the booklet, a snowshoe, a Haida sculpture in argilite, a maple leaf shaped bottle of syrup,some beadwork from the NWT Dene people, things picked-up in my travels north of 49,,,!!!

and Good Luck with the song.... it could turn into a whole project... now there's an idea.......hmmm got me thinking too, again..

"My Father came from Scotland's shore, a young man in his day
He came to live upon the plains while working for the Bay
He dealt in furs and buffalo hides and wed an Indian girl
By and by a son was born by the name of John McLean" .....

excerpt from "John McLean" by Willie Dunn...
