First, Burns Night has beckoned! Come celebrate at my impromptu online solo concert (on Facebook livestream) honoring Robert Burns and Scottish music tomorrow evening, Wednesday, Jan. 26, 7 pm (with apologies to Burns for celebrating a day late). So, if you’re free, tune in on Facebook, for some passionate Burns songs (without words), Scottish airs, strathspeys and other fiddle tunes, and my favorite Ewan MacColl song. (English dance friends, you may recognize a tune or two.) Bring your own haggis and beverage of choice!
