Well, thank you to those ordered the special offer of "Soul of a
Harper". Great to see what people are interested in having more of.
I think I can ablidge.

Meantime, the annual tribute to Scotland's bard, Robert Burns,
(1759-1796) takes place this weekend. His birthday, January 25th,
marks the occurrence of a number of Burns Suppers where folks
to have a Scottish meal, drink some whisky, and celebrate the
spirit of the Bard. Find out more about at the Burns Supper Guide.

The Texas Highlanders are holding such a Burns Supper in Austin.

Harlingen playing one for the Scots down in South Texas.

To celebrate this happy occasion, this issue is dedicated to
Robert Burns. BTW, did I mention I have two Burns' songs on
my CD: "My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose" and "Killiecrankie"?

"To The Weaver's Gin Ye Go" by Jean Redpath

Jean Redpath was born in Scotland. At the University of
Edinburgh, she discovered the School of Scottish Studies which
collects and preserves the oral traditions of Scotland. In 1961,
she arrived in the United States and through series of "accidents"
shared quarters with several legends of the '60s folk revival
including Bobby Dylan. An appearance in a hootenanny brought
the offer of a booking and won her rave reviews in the New York
Times.

Since 1962 she has toured throughout the world and has devoted
a large portion of her professional life to the songs of Scotland's
national bard, Robert Burns. Her work produced seven recordings
which have won critical acclaim.

Jean Redpath is a legend in the Scottish folk community and if
there was a Celtic Hall of Fame, no doubt she'd be one of the
first to be inducted.

"Is There for Honest Poverty" by Old Blind Dogs

For over ten years now, the Old Blind Dogs have stood at the
leading edge of the roots revival that has both reawakened and
revolutionised Scottish folk music.

Combining a deep appreciation of ancient traditions with a highly
contemporary, dynamically cosmopolitan musical approach, their
uniquely distinctive arrangements of ballads, airs, and dance-tunes
put the sounds of their homeland firmly on the world music map.
