(non-Dolby) [Kathleen Press] Re: Alloy: Anna Christine [Kathleen Presser Subject: Re: Alloy: Anything nay Scottish is crrrrrap! (non-Dolby) Aye Laddie, I do enjoy a good laugh! Even though Scottish things are not Dolby related, know that Thomas's last name (Robertson) is a sept name under the clan Donnachaidh (Donnakee). I know he probably wasn't raised in any sort of Scottish traditions, but, the fact that he is so ingenius and so innovative speaks at least partly of his Scottish roots. This October on the sixteenth and seventeenth will be the annual Loch Prado highland games in Chino, California. I'll be there with my husband running the clan Gunn tent. Wonder if Thomas has ever considered incorporating the bagpipe sound in a song?? That would be interesting, LOL. Good luck in getting your kilt JAMac. It's funny how expensive celebrating your heritage can be. OY vay!! Pax Aye, Kate;-) Dennis S Alexander wrote: > Sorry, but I get a kick out of that line.
