Well since a Burns Supper wasn't on the cards this year, I figured I'd check out some music as a condolence...

Lots of fiddle and accordian (typical ceilidh fare from Jimmy Shand etc) some Ron Gonnella playing Neil Gow, and rediscovered some bothy ballads with Jimmy MacBeath (pronounced Macbeth) on Come A' Ye Tramps and Hawkers.

Definitely recommened listening... But listen to it a few times in order to appreciate it... and extra points if you can actually understand the words...
