The SNP propaganda bit of Steve's song is all in the last three verses. I'd leave those out. I also came up with a different refrain:

with a you kay eye pee and an eff oh ay dee

- at any rate, better to find a specific one that fits the verses.

The slow session last night had a rather odd mix. Half the people in the room knew all the tunes and never looked at any music. The other half used sheets for everything. No middle ground of people who could play some tunes from memory but not all. People in that category do exist, but I seem to see less of them than I used to.

The worst regular session player I know is one who doesn't read music at all, and learns a lot of her material off Phil Cunningham CDs. Playing along with the Phil in her head makes for even greater rigidity than following a score.
