Logbook

After for some reason deciding to search for the lyrics to "Leave us our glens" (lyrics here and for those with wide broadband, ~11:45 in here - those who have appreciated tours of Scotland at Festival will appreciate it), discovered that youtube has a large array of Karen Matheson (of Capercaillie fame) stuff.

Such as:
Puirt a Beul
To the moon
Crooked Mountain (though why they have set it to a picture of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman from the West Coast, I have no idea...)

Need more Capercaillie albums since I have too few of their albums on CD and one of those (a best of album I think) was lost some time while in Canberra.

Will have to go chasing more at a less late hour of the night.

After this version of Down by the Salley Garden :)

So, our Rowany Festival pictures are here.
deense has some good photos of the laurelling and other stuff here

The two pieces of video of playing with glass and iron are:
here (the short one, 4,357 kB)
here (longer at around a minute, 16,278 kB)
There is a third I got part way into loading but interent connection crashed part way through and I don't wish to use up all our quota from the month reloading it. It deals with the attempt to forge the previous iron bloom and putting out the stump being worked on. I may get around to it next month. (medium long, 12,307 kB)

( Lets see if we can embed them... )

That should keep you amused for a little while - at least those of you with wide pipes...

Standard provisos that I can remove bits featuring you should you wish and feel free to pass on the links to anyone you know who may wish to see but wont be reading this directly.
I'll post the links to Lochac Shambles, St Floz, AAF, Innilgard - anyone else I should remember?
