This year may be a
Home celebration
But
As long as we celebrate
The poems and songs that
Came from this man of cheerfulness
Hmmm sound a bit like Jim
I wonder if Jim has
And tangled roots
to Robbie?

Re: Robbie Burns Night coming up...
The song and poem
“Ye Jacobites By Name”
It sounded kinda biblical
So
I looked it up
It was about the uprising for
Scotland’s Iindependence
Similar to the
American War of Independence
only this one was lost
To England
So abt 1747
“The Act of Proscription” was passed
Bagpipes and teaching Garlic was outlawed
Sheep became more valuable than people

Re: Robbie Burns Night coming up...
You can hear the song
Online
It’s quite stirring
Many people were ousted from their homes,
Left or forced on ships to America
Often getting “typhoid fever”
Many dying
There were an estimated
70,000 people who left Scotland
“Clan” is Gaelic for children
That’s my lesson for today

Re: Robbie Burns Night coming up...
Yesterday I watched
One of my favourite
VHS movies
Brigadoon
With Gene Kelly
His real name was Eugene also
My dad looked a bit like him
Only my dad had the Scottish nose
Like Charlton Heston
Then tonight I watched
The Little Kidnappers
With Charlton Heston as
The cranky Scottish grandfather

Re: Robbie Burns Night coming up...
I found my Argyll socks
For today
So I’m
All set
Listening to
Enya
Even tho it’s more Irish music
It’s all Celtic and the music merges
in
Between Irish and Scottish sounding
It’s All good

I’m watching video
I took in 2019
Of the Mudmen
At Princess Theatre
And then
Maybe if
Some video
When I was at Robbie Burns
Night in Listowel Ontario

Re: Robbie Burns Night coming up...
I’m still in Robbie Burns mode
Enjoying
Mil of Kintyre
I love watching the video
Cause I may never see Scotland
Myself
But to see and hear the song by
The sea
It just stirs your heart and
See the the people
Following the
Pipers
They still do that in
Kincardine, Ontario
