Sharyn, I'm wondering if the Scottish tunes you learnt were accompanied by dance as well. Dance music always seems to be me to be a bit repetitive (I used to be a techno DJ too), but I guess that's because it is something to shake your booty to, rather than sit and ponder the inner depths of. Its not meant as a criticism, bits and bobs just lose their original meaning/effect when taken out of the context they were written in.
