    No, I am not performing, no....

    Last evening was fun. We went to a male chorus concert and I wore my Buccleuch tartan kilt, green hose, and green shirt. First, since I had some work to do along the way, I stopped at this one woodsy typed items store to check their clock. The lady was outside putting up Christmas lights and asked what the occasion was. I said, "Ummm, it's Friday." She replied, "That is a good answer for me," but then I explained.

    I only got one "It's too cold to wear a skirt" comment and it surprised me as it came from behind while we were walking to a tattoo place to check out designs. When I looked back at him, he smiled and ducked into a store.

    Then at the concert, the first lady we met was handing out programs and she said, "Oh, are you performing tonight?" I said, "No." Then she asked more questions; "You did perform somewhere?" "You play the bagpipes!" "You are going to play the bag pipes?" Since I replied "No" to each question she finally said after I explained to her why I wear them - for comfort, because they are nice, etc., she said, "Well, you should play the bagpipes! But, I really like it! It is nice!" When I left to catch up to my wife who was buying our tickets, the lady was still smiling and looking.

    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
