And they do have Scottish country dancing here in Texas. I used to go to classes at Our Lady of the Lake. And I went to a Scottish Highland Ball one year in Austin. It's easy and fun.
+ausfi I mentioned the Scottish Highland Ball in Austin because Ed Miller used the term in one of his songs. He moved to Austin, so I guess he is one of our Scottish Texans now. Thank you for telling me that it is popular the world over, as it should be. It is a fun way to socialize and enjoy music.
Thanks, Caroline...excellent playing...I thought from the balance it was a CD, just have to ask Alan if he has any copies. lol! Thanks for sharing... ;-)
+Brian Forrest I'm happy Caroline answered you, I tried to find it online and then forgot to ask the people who know when I saw them. The group is based on Oslo, Norway and uses recordings when they dance during these yearly musical events involving many different performers. This is the best recording of Frisky that I have heard.
A dropped me drawers sadly in one of those Strathspeys and the shame that came upon me made miss the nest reel. Oh Mairi so sorry. But I got meself up and danced the Gay Gordons and all's well again.
+Brian Forrest It's Alan Gardiner and his band, and the recording is from the RSCDS recording of the music from Book 26. Love this CD and use it loads!
+Caroline Brockbank (CeilidhKids) Thank you Caroline! I tried to find it online which was not possible and afterwards forgot to ask the people who knew it. A great recording.
Right. Like on 'Strictly'? Go away... dance is for nutters and exhibitionists. If the music is good, why spoil it by dancing? If it's rubbish, why dance at all?
+edwardszzz Maybe I'm feeding a troll, everyone has a right to an opinion, but I'm sad that you don't know anything about the joy of dancing. Nothing sad about it. Many people enjoy also other kinds of movement, slalom, downhill, car racing, flying. One might have lots of fun dancing, even when making mistakes. I love to listen to music, even to compose some, but that's other kind of music. Anyway, thanks for the comments, even negative ones.
