    It was a wonderful Games. Cool and clear as you can see from the photos. Sorry if there are some here that can't accept kilts and college sweatshirts, but LSU was playing Tennessee and I had to fly my other "clan" colors!

    My son was busy in the Montreat pipe band all day, and his photo made it into today's newspaper. He also played four pieces in church this morning. Proud dad here!

    Geaux Tigers!

    It looks as if Daniel is a natural Kilt wearer, in other words he needs a Kilt, glad he has one on order.

    You guys look great!

    He was at the computer about as fast as we got in the door and has a SWK Wallace Economy with a sporran on order which, knowing SWK's shipping should arrive in 20 minutes. To make it better he asked to borrow one to tide him over till his own arrives. He is a true kiltie now!

    It was a great games and it was great to see you guys again as well as meeting some new friends face to face. Kilt night soon, gentlemen?

    And Bill, you were well coordinated what with the purple in the tartan and the gold snakeskin knee brace. LOL No worries.

    What nonsense, Nelson!! Actually, I was just thinking that here we have an almost perfect line-up ........ sorry Brett, but you must now realise that it is essential to be wearing a kilt when attempting a 'Hamish'!

    By the way,are you guys going to be available when we start auditioning for "Hamish - The Musical" in the New Year? Broadway here we come!

    I'm with you cousin Bill,

    Kilts and college sweatshirts are a natural together.

    Especially on game day!









    Hopefully, supporting your premise, rather than stealing your thread.
