Kilts and Jazz?

[JazzKiltz]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself in a new thread rather than continuing to hijack Bill's. Got my first kilt (a black Original Utilikilt) a couple of months ago and have practically worn it out already!

My wife (who a Canadian of Scot, Welsh and French ancestry) has been trying to get me in a kilt for years (weddings and such), but I wasn't really comfortable with wearing tartans. Then at a street fair here in Brooklyn, we saw some Utilikilts and anytime my wife says "Boy, you'd look sexy in that!" I pay attention!

I'm a jazz musician/film composer and the reactions I get from other jazzers is quite interesting, indeed. One trupet player I know said, "I certainly wouldn't f@%# with you wearing that thing. I'd figure you must have some other sh** going on to have the balls to wear it in public. It's damn sexy, though!"

The best reaction, however, is from women I don't know. No kilt checks though, dammit.

I'm looking forward to an extensive kilt collection (though I love long dramatic coats too much to completely give up trousers!) and lots of fun posting and reading here.

Hi MT, welcome to the group. I think you may be the first Jazz guy here. We had a thread a while back about what instruments we play. There are a lot of musicians here but you may be a ground breaker with Jazz. Dive in and have a good time.

Mark,

I am sorry but I know absolutely nothing about Jazz although I believe I like the traditional style they play in New Orleans! Nevertheless, I also welcome you to "X Marks...."

My! We are a diverse lot - a virtual Pot-Pourri of kilties!!
