Thanks for posting those Arlen. I liked them both very much. They are now saved on my computer.

A slight error Arlen - 1859 was the hundredth anniversary of his birth, not his death.

I sometimes use this verse from a poem by Henry W. Longfellow about Burns as an opening to our Burns Supper:
His presence haunts this room to-night,
A form of mingled mist and light
From that far coast.
Welcome beneath this roof of mine!
Welcome! this vacant chair is thine,
Dear guest and ghost!
Cheers, 
Todd

I like that a lot. Thanks. I might use that.

That is a lovely verse and would be so apposite when seated in Burns' chair in the Globe!

Yes, indeed! :mrgreen:
We actually have a "vacant chair" reserved for Rabbie at our Burns Supper, complete wi' a wee dram.

Oops.

Thanks!
