Stone Mt. Highland Games coming up.
Always try and make the Tattoo on thursday night.
The sound of massed bagpipe bands turns me on.
Unfortunately no "Sheets" tartan.
It is probably the only place in the state today
where "Dixie" can still be heard.
"Gentlemen, turn dem taps to."
Some times the Marine band from Albany comes up, that's a special treat for me.

Hey, we'll be out at the Games field tomorrow. Look for us around the Scottish Country Dancing platform.
My husband is easy to spot in a crowd. 6'6", 240#, short hair that used to be black and short full beard that used to be red (both are now mostly gray). Gordon (basically the Black Watch w/ yellow overstripe - what the BW calls "the Gordon's yellow streak" LOL) kilt and a genuine marten sporran (he used to make it "talk" for the kids when they were very small. Laff riot. . . . although maybe you had to be there . . .)
The rest of us look pretty average, but I'll have on my MacGregor (red) tartan skirt, my daughter will be wearing my old Atlanta Pipe Band kilt (Ancient MacKenzie wh. is mostly Electric Blue), and my son has outgrown his kilt so heaven knows what we'll be able to find to put him in . . . although I'm sure that Geoffrey Tailor will be happy to accommodate us . . .
