My late dad wore a kilt and played the viola and sang opera. He didn't knit, but he sewed me a black satin evening gown to wear at singing performances in college. And he made the world's best ever pumpkin soup. Knowing that cooking, music making, crafting, kilt-wearing men are still around gives me warm fuzzies.

Congrats on the kilt convert. My husband has always wanted a "real" one with all the accompanying regalia to wear instead of a suit in formal dress situations, but they are rather pricey and he has enough Scots blood in him to render such an expenditure prohibitive. I've been working on my son and son-out-of-law on wearing one, and in fact we were talking about yours yesterday (were your ears ringing at about 3:30 Eastern time?). I was offering to make them kilt socks if they ever make the leap. We met you briefly at Rhinebeck this year, I’m Beetsie and my husband went as D.H.

That's something to be thankful for: more men in kilts. I agree with you about pie. It deserves a category all it's own. Happy Thanksgiving! Did you say a kilt convert?

Who's your 1st kilt convert? Practice will surely bring your fiddling back up - you're a pretty well rounded fellow aren't you? Sounds like you had a good time. Who’s your 1st kilt convert?
