I remember Mr McKenzie very well when I was nursing. He was a very nice man and a pleasure to care for. He told me about his dancing days. Charlie, Aberdeen
Just heard David Wilton on BBC Radio's "Pipeline" - a great piper as well as dancer ! When I played with British Caledonian Airways Pipes & Drums, we had, as one of our dancers, Billy Forsyth, former World Champion.
I earned my first SOBHD medals in Saskatoon 1958' James L was the adjudicator ,he gave a workshop ,invited me to the Gaelic College ,in 1962 (for 18 months )i journeyed to Aberdeen,7 Belmont street ,eight hour days of lessons and lots and lots of practice.Wednesdays and Sunday's off
I studied with James L. at the Gaelic College in 1973, the last year he taught there. He was quite a gentleman. It is good to see the Tribute being danced by new generations of dancers.
It is good to see Scottish men wear kilts. It is very rare. I would see men of the Irish culture wear their kilts any more. All of you men have done a wonderful job performing on stage. Congratulations!!!
