    Thanks for posting these, Kilted Rogue. It was a pleasure meeting you and 2a5t2f7 yesterday and it was pleasant, if somewhat warm day at Boone Hall Plantation.

    And speaking of "somewhat warm" thanks for that wee nip ... what was the name of that malt again?

    I thought I would add a picture of the Massed Band Opening Ceremony from the 2010 Charleston SHG.........

    There are many more pictures here from the Scottish Society of Charleston FaceBook page.....

    Nice to see "the tie" in action there too. Now then KFC did you think that a bolt of lightening was going to strike you down with that tattersall shirt?

    Jock,

    We had the quite the discussion about KFC's tattersall shirt and THE tie. I'm sure you would have smiled had you been there. Your thread sparked quite an awareness for all of us who were previously firmly planted in the "matchy" column. KFC looked even more "toned" in person than he did in the pictures.....
