Eleen, I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from other list members, however I felt this Burns Dictionary site would be useful as well: http://www.tartans.com/burns/BroadScotsDictionary.html Try these sites for his works and information on Robert Burns: http://www.rabbie-burns.com/index.cfm http://www.tamoshanter.free-online.co.uk/ http://www.innotts.co.uk/~asperges/burns.html A search on http://www.google.com/ will also produce many web sites to chose from.

[scots-l] Continuing adventures in the search for World Cup Reel Music
Well I have found some information and hope to get some help finding at least sheet music if not a copy of the album. Here are the particulars: The name of the tunes are "Ormand's Favorite/The World Cup Reel" by J.S.D. Band on an album titled "Scotland Scotland" in honor of the 1978 Scottish World Cup Team on Polydor 2382 282 SUPER produced by Phil Coulter and Bill Martin for Martin Coulter Enterprises Ltd. out of England. >From what I have been able to find out, the J.S.D. Band was a popular Scottish Folk/Rock Band through the 70's and broke up in the early 80's. I have heard of a rumor that they have gotten back together and have released a couple new albums. Any information on the tunes "Ormand's Favorite and The World Cup Reel" would be greatly appreciated and/or help locating a copy of the album. Thanks, Elheran __ Do You Yahoo!?

[scots-l] RE:RE: Music related to Scotland Winning the World Cup in the 80's
Well since Shinty (Camanachd) is my Sport of preference, I must confess ignorance of Scottish Football. Another source has suggested it might have been the Scottish Rugby Team making it into the World Cup finals, but necesaarily winning the Cup. I have heard the recording, I believe it was a Medley of Jigs/Reels either written or arranged to acknowledge the occasion. Defintely not a Rugby Anthem, as it was purely instrumental. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

[scots-l] Music related to Scotland Winning the World Cup in the 80's
Hello, I am trying to locate information a music which may have been written and recorded on the occasion of Scotland Winning the World Cup in Football (Soccer) in the early 80's. I believe one of the musicians involved was Fiddler John Turner from the Boston area of the US. There was a Scottish Highland Broadsword Dance called the World Cup Reel which was choreographed to go with the music. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Re: [scots-l] Brigadoon
I was once in a production of Brigadoon, where the 3 of us "ringers" made it a goal to get as many Scottish Swords and Lochaber axes on stage as possible, then we hatched a conspiracy to have everyone make a mock attack the guy who come to break up the wedding.
