Jim , I had the sad duty of disposing of the stuff nobody wanted of a good friend of mine who passed lately . Came upon several LP's of a Scot I had totally forgotten , one Harry Lauder .Was he corny , aye .Did he fill me with joy bringing memories back of the old folks on Saturday night , aye . Scotland Forever . |
Len, I am sorry for your friend my condolences to you , we are now losing friends and colleagues left right and centre as we get older and it is very sad. As to Harry Lauder , yes he was corny but he was a mainstay for ex pats in Canada and America and yes they did go overboard on the whole heather and haggis thing . Scotia ever more. |
My Grand mother in particular ,She was 15 when her mother dragged her kicking and screaming , to the US after her dad took the low road in WW II . Always kept her British passport and refused American citizenship .I can hear her now " I was born British and I’ll die British " ! Hope and pray the SNP will prevail . Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year . |
