Sure.  I warn you, however, that it's a very sloppy export and may not be

 The same applies for anyone else who would like a copy.

[scots-l] Speaking of typefaces...

[Ian Adkins DSO-CS 9ER]

A few years ago I decided that, to go along with my unique Scots
orthography, I wanted new letterforms that weren't quite Celtic but not
Germanic, civilized but not entirely, Latin but not Catholic.  :)

Tinkering in CorelDraw I came up with "Scots Wha Hae," a sample of which
I've posted here:

http://www.lyceum-philosophy.org/adkins/miscellany/scots_type.jpg

The auto-kerning in the True-Type font is shite, and there's a few things
I'd do differently if I redesigned it today.  But there you have it.  One
day I'll come back to it...

Re: [scots-l] Cretin Desires to Be Musical.

[Ian Adkins DSO-CS 9ER]

Thanks to those of you who made suggestions.

I think I'm going to take the recommendation that I learn the tin whistle.
 The idea is to pick up some music theory and a discerning ear, and it
seems a very friendly instrument to the neophyte.  And failing any
progress to other instruments, the tin whistle is a pleasant enough
instrument for the sorts of music I like.

Now some say you can learn the bagpipes on your own, others say you can't.
 If I have success with the tin whistle (more in music theory and a
discerning ear; Jack is right in saying that they're dissimilar
instruments) I may undertake learning the pipes.  I do have a practice
chanter at home that's been collecting dust for some years, so other than
a new reed and a spool of waxed hemp, there's no more investment than my
time.

But first thing's first -- I have a Clarke tapered whistle in the key of
'C' coming in the post.  :)  Thanks also to Cairistiona out in California
-- anything you find on Internet that is of interest to musical newbies
please do pass it along.

Let me make here my ardent plea for web resources devoted to teaching the

[scots-l] Fwd: Scottish Episcopalians celebrate Anglican Communion origins

[Ian Adkins DSO-CS 9ER]

Scottish Episcopalians celebrate Anglican Communion origins

by Matthew Davies

The Anglican Communion is often described as a worldwide family of
churches owing its origins to the Church of England; but for many Scottish
Episcopalians the story of the genesis of the Communion is distinctively
different.

In 1784, Samuel Seabury, elected to be Bishop of Connecticut, USA,
travelled to Scotland to be consecrated, as England gave a clear "no" to
such action from the new world. His consecration took place in Aberdeen on
14 November 1784.

The Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church asked "that Bishop Seabury
would endeavour all he can" to make the Scottish form of the Communion
liturgy the norm in the United States. To this Bishop Seabury agreed and
the birth of the Anglican Communion ensued, with a Scottish tone to this
very day.

On 14 November 2003 - the 219th anniversary of the consecration of Samuel
Seabury - the present Bishop of Aberdeen and Primus of the Scottish
Episcopal Church, the Most Reverend Bruce Cameron, visited Peterhead and
laid a wreath on the grave of Bishop Kilgour, Bishop of Aberdeen and
Primus at the time when Samuel Seabury was consecrated.

The Dean of Aberdeen, the Very Reverend Gerald Stranraer-Mull, who is also
priest in Peterhead, Ellon and Cruden Bay, explained, "The consecration of
Bishop Seabury in Aberdeen by three Scottish Bishops was the beginning of
the worldwide Anglican Communion. The chief consecrating Bishop was the
Primus, Bishop Robert Kilgour, and this year's service, for the first
time, honours him."

During a Eucharist, the Dean read a message of greeting from the Rt Revd
Jim Curry, Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut, and the prayers
of the people were led by Bishop Kilgour's name-sake, Provost Richard
Kilgour of Saint Andrew's Cathedral, Aberdeen.

At a reception following the Eucharist the Primus launched his Lent Appeal
for 2004 which seeks to raise £10,000 to fund a priest's house at Misty
Mount in Aberdeen's companion diocese of Saint John's, South Africa.

Oh, I believe it.  Have you seen any textbooks recently?  Everything has
been sanitized.  I keep imagine little workers bees in blue coveralls
buzzing around the basement of the Ministry of Truth rewriting
six-month-old newspaper articles to better suit the current party line. 
What's more boggling is that Americans are, as a whole, growing more
conservative and reactionary even as speech and publications are being
"corrected" for racial/gender/sexual sensitivities.  Dare I say -- and I
remind you, this is coming from a nominal leftist -- that liberals are
actually causing their political marginalization?  I'm fairly pink in the
center but listening to some of this crap almost turns me off on
liberalism.  I've always interprested racism, sexism and bigotry in
general as the institutionalized ignorance of the lower economic classes
producing a xenophobia exploited by the ruling economic classes for
personal gain -- e.g., politicians, businessmen, lawyers, some clergy. 
The "inherent evil" of anything WASP-ish does not enter into my evaluation
of bigotry.  I want to tell all these so-called liberals to look at the
dynamics of power trusts and the buying of influence, and you'll see how
the middle-class has been pitted against the lower classes, and poor
whites against poor blacks.  Lay the blame where it belongs -- on
upper-class power-mongers and -brokers -- and maybe you'll stop alienating
rank-and-file voters against progressive politics.

Okay, that's my rant.  Flame me off-list, please!

Re: [scots-l] unsubscribe

[The Rt Reverend Ian Adkins]

Right.  Since it's evident that the quality of public education in Canada
has fallen, let me spell out the appropriate process to follow in
unsubscribing from Scots-L.

1.  Go to www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html.

2.  Fill out the form and click 'submit.'

3.  The listmaster will then unsubscribe you when he gets a moment.

4.  If you can't wait until then, throw yourself off a tall building.

It's not as though instructions aren't appended to every message sent to
this list.

[scots-l] Harry Lauder 78s

[The Rev Dr Ian Adkins]

I'm in the process of appraising and liquidating a collection of 78 RPM
records, among which is a 78 of Sir Harry Lauder singing "Queen Among the
Heather" and "Bonnie Leezie Lindsay," non-electrical recording,
practically unplayed condition.  I figured I'd give the folks here a look
before offering it up to the godless masses on eBay!  If I can glean any
information off the label for anyone, let me know.  The rest of the
collection is primarily World War I era popular tunes, rare American
country music and Polish polkas.

Well, after reading your often caustic posts for five or so years, I
reckon I merit a little licence to scourge neophytes who regularly pollute
my inbox with unsubscribe requests because they're either too lazy to read
the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each and every post, or
they're otherwise too impatient to allow Toby the time to manually
unsubscribe them.  I usually snip posts, this time I forgot.  Sue me. 
I've been looking for an excuse to cross the pond -- an order to appear in
court is just as good a one as any!

Here's the lyrics to it:


Hey hoch ma Johnnie lad, ye're no sae kind's ye shaud hae been

Sae weel's ye micht hae touselt me an sweetlie preeyit my mowe bedeen
Hey hoch ma Johnnie lad, yer no sae kind's ye shauld hae been.

Th feint a body was therein, thare wis nae fear o bein seen
Hey hoch ma Johnnie lad, yer no sae kind's ye shauld hae been.

Hey hoch ma Johnnie lad, ye're no sae kind's ye shaud hae been

Wad onie lad wha luvt her weel hae left his bonnie lass her lane
Tae sigh an greet ilk langsome hour an think her sweetest meenits gane
Och had ye been a wooer leal we wad hae met wi hairts mair keen
Hey hoch ma Johnnie lad yer no sae kind's ye should hae been.

"Hech how, Johnie lad" is the opening line of a song, with tune in SMM
#357.

John Glen (Early Scottish Melodies, for SMM #357) pointed out
"The Lasses of the Ferry" in Stewart's Reels as the same tune as
"Hech how, Johnie Lad" as well as "The Lads of Saltcots". I
haven't seen a copy of Stewart's Reels (1761-3). Here is a
version slightly earlier than the copy of the latter that Glen
cited.

Hello,
I know that the mention of the song "The Scotsman"
will bring groans from many members. You know, the
fellow who "won first prize". I bring it up because
there is a large online support group of mostly ladies
who have a very painful chronic illness that to date
has no cure and only negligible treatment. Humorous
things are often posted to keep the spirits elevated.
Lately, the patter has been about the perennial
question of "what is worn beneath the scotman's kilt".
Does anyone know where I could find the lyrics to "The
Scotsman" on the net?  I have looked without success.
Would there be a copywrite problem if I posted it for
the newsgroup. Humor is healing. Matter of fact,
Scottish humor is wonderful stuff. Is there a place to
go to where we can find more? I realize that I am
pushing some parameters here. If it helps my cause, I
am a fiddle playing lover of Scottish tunes and am a
long time lurker. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Judy

Come in, come in, it's nice tae see ye

Re: Derek's posting, I feel it is only right that in the interests of

justice and the Scottish way I point out that the lyrics go:

Come in, come in it's nice tae see ye,
How's yersel, ye're lookin grand.

After that my memory, like Derek's, fails me.  I'm not even sure of
the tune
after that. It always seems to merge into the classic valedictory song
from
the same  programme:

Haste ye back, ye're always welcome
er, tum, ti, tum, ti tum

As someone once said, sentiment works as long as you mean it.  There
was
always something good-hearted and sociable about the spirit of those
programmes, a spirit which defies the ironic tenor of much our current
cultural experience.

I have a terrible allergy to solfa.  ;)

It's rather easy to create fonts in CorelDRAW! if you have a
copy, you can export images to individual character numbers
in a TrueType or Postscript font.  I haven't tried this in
the Mac version but it works nice in the Windows version.

Jack, I have Fontographer and used to write bitmap fonts
back in the
early 1980s, never done PS/TT for anything except a few
symbols, but if
it is a matter of creating these I could do so. I did an
early music
font version of Goudy or something for my brother a couple
of years
back, just to give him the right typography for the words.

Re: [scots-l] Amazing Grace

[Rev Dr Ian Adkins]

Hi Carol, I was attending the monthly meeting in Buffalo for
a while until I realized it was just too far for me to drive
every Sunday.  :(  So until I move or a meeting starts up
here...

But I can maybe lend a little info to the debate, the
Shakers originally penned "Simple Gifts" around 1850 or so,
and Aaron Copeland used the tune in his "Appalachian
Spring."  In the 1960s the tune was set to the familiar
"Lord of the Dance" lyrics.  The Shakers are something I
have to explain away quite frequently, I tell people about
being a Quaker and they ask, "Does that mean you can't have
sex?" "Do you live on a commune in the woods?" "Do you make
furniture?"  Not to mention those who get us confused with
the Amish.  ;)  The Shakers, who number only six or seven
now (that sex thing really puts a damper on furthering a
religion!), were originally an off-shoot of the Quakers but
people should remember that there is a big difference in
them and Quakers.  But interestingly enough, as influential
as Quakers were and continue to be in America, most kids
only learn about the Shakers, as a footnote, in their
American history classes.

Okay, rant done!

You can find the original 1779 text of Newton's "Amazing

Re: [scots-l] Interesting 78 rpm Scottish fiddle record

[Ian Adkins]

I don't know if I asked this before, but do any of you know of a service
that will convert 78s to digital format, MP3, etc.?  I have scads of 78
records, mostly WWI songs and such, completely useless to me otherwise.

[scots-l] Ahoy! Gie me aw yer siller pal or A'll chib ye!

[Ian Adkins]

Hey hoch fowk,

Now I've been with this list for almost three years now, I think we've all
gotten to know each other real well.  What most of you don't know is that I
have a secret, hidden desire to become a sea captain.  Maybe a commodore
too.  And I'm hoping all of you can help me.

I make okay money working for a university (just started in fact), and me
and Toby do a good business designing hosting websites on the side.  But
let's face it, it ain't enough to buy a big sea-going ship.  Preferrably
with a few 40mm guns an torpedo tubes fore and aft.

Maybe we can do this like a charity!  Raise a cool million USD to build a
ship on the Clyde for auld lang syne.  Come on, what's a million to a
affluent bunch like you?  Help me and a few old welders in bonnie
Glesgatoun!  Write it off as a charitable contribution afterward!

Let me know what all of you think.  Top contributors can come along on a
cargo run or two, maybe fish for shark and tuna, put a few holes in the bow
of an Iraqi oil tanker.  Exciting stuff.


Yers aye,

Ian J. L. Adkins
Aspiring sea captain and commodore
Niagara Falls, N.Y.

P.S., personal cheques and bank drafts are fine!

[scots-l] A Guid Burns Nicht Tae Aw o Ye!

[Ian Adkins]

ADDRESS TAE A HAGGIS

Fair faw yer honest, sonsie face
Great chieftain o th puddin-race!
Abuin them aw ye tak yer place
Painch, tripe or thairm:
Weel are ye wordie o a grace
As lang's ma arm.

Th groanin trencher thare ye fill
Yer hurdies like a distant hill
Yer pin wad help tae mend a mill
In time o need
While thro yer pores th dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic labour dicht
An cut ye up wi readie sleicht,
Trenchin yer gushin entrails bricht
Like onie ditch;
An then, O what a glorious sicht,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn fer horn
They stretch an strive:
Deil tak th hindmost! oan they drive
Till aw their weel-swallit kytes belyve
Are bent lyke drums;
Then auld guidman, maist like tae rive
"Bethankit!" hums.

Is thare tha ower his French ragoot
Or olio tha wad staw a sow
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner
Luiks doon wi sneerin, scornfu view
Oan sic a dinner?

Poor deil! see him ower his trash
As feckless as a witherit rash
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash
His nieve a nit;
Thro bluidie flood or field tae dash
O hoo unfit!

Bit mark th rustic, haggis fed
Th tremblin earth resounds his tread
Clap in his walie nieve a blade
He'll mak it whissle
An legs an arms, an heids will sned
Like taps o thrissle.

Ye Powers wha mak mankind yer care
An dish them oot their bill o fare
Auld Scotlan wants nae skinkin ware
Tha jaups in luggies;
But, gin ye wish her gratefu prayer
Gie her a haggis!

-- Robert Burns, National Bard o Scotlan, born th day in 1759

[scots-l] Scots-L Intro

[Ian Adkins]

Adapted from the IPUSA-L intro...


=
|  Welcome to   |
|SCOTS-L|
|Scots Music and Culture|
=

Toby Arnold Rider [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Listowner and Moderator [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To post, E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  To subscribe/unsubscribe, E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Administrative enquiries, E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1. Please save this message for future reference.

2. This is the Scots-L Scots Music and Discussion list. This list
is for the purpose of discussing Scottish music, culture, history,
events, cuisine, etc.  Please make sure your posts pertain to this
common thread, if only remotely. This is an open list; anyone who
wishes may subscribe.

3. Unsubscribing from IPUSA-L is simple. Either submit a request
via the form located at http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists, or
failing that send the following message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

  unsubscribe scots-l [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  end

Temporarily unsubbing from Scots-L or switching to the digest is
especially useful if you are going on vacation or will not have
access to your account for an extended period of time. Since this
is at times a high-volume mailing list, pending messages will pile
up quickly. Some people have a remote inbox with size (byte)
restrictions, and after so many kilobytes (only 64 KB in some
cases!) it will send back the message via Mailer-Daemon as
undeliverable. If this occurs, you will be unsubscribed to
prevent bounced messages from flooding the listowner's inbox or
being posted to Scots-L.

4. The permitted languages on this list are English, Scots/Lallans,
and Scots-Gaelic.

5. Please comport yourself appropriately on the list. Do not attack
or "flame" other subscribers, only ideas. "Flame wars" severely
disrupt the mood and continuity of a list, and will NOT be tolerated
by the listowner.

Please do not post obscene messages to the list; this is an "open"
to which children may subscribe, and it is a Federal crime under the
proposed 1996 Federal Communications Decency Act to distribute lewd
or otherwise profane materials to minors. As to what "obscene"
implies, I leave that to your discretion and trust that you won't try
to get the listowner in trouble with Uncle Sam.  :)

Please also refrain from using too many extended characters in your
posts, as this list has an unusually high number of educational
accounts subscribed who for the most part operate from Macintosh-run
terminals which are incapable of correctly viewing such characters
(and vice-versa for you Mac users, too!). As nice as they do look,
they get munched and bin-hexed and gnarled and some people read them
as odd characters, detracting from the content of your message.
Also, if your mail client allows you to post in plain, simple ASCII
text, 72 characters per line, please do -- HTML-encoded messages
waste bandwidth and are troublesome to read in simple text mail
clients.  Again, it only detracts from what you're trying to say.

Deliberately tampering with the list's setup or disrupting its
workings in any other way is an act of sabotage and terrorism, and
will be dealt with accordingly. This will include tracking the
violator, notifying the his/her ISP, and possible legal action.

6. The listowner of this list reserves the right to remove any
subscriber from this list for failure to comply with these general
rules and for repeatedly-bounced messages from a subscriber's
address. The listowner also reserves the right to amend the list
rules as he sees fit, and generally remove anyone for being a
pest. :) The listowner provides this list as a service to the public
and accordingly asks the public to respect his authority with regard
to this list.

7. Located at www.tullochgorm.org is a companion site for this list.
It's under constant construction, so please pardon the mess. :)

8. This intro was last updated on 04 January 2001.

E-mailing the listowner off-list would have been my first suggestion, but
what the heck do I know?  Idjits.

Hey Toby, do you have a list info/intro set up with majordomo?  Not that
anyone saves those things, but it'd at least give you the ability to say
"Ha!  Should have saved the intro file LIKE IT TOLD YOU TO!!"

Re: [scots-l] hello

[Ian Adkins]

It's ma unnerstaunin tha Burns wrate th lyrics but set it tae a differen
tune, which ye th Tannies did a braw recordin o in th '80s.  Later, prollie
efter he deid in 1796, his editors thoucht th present tune wad me mair
popular an changed it in later editions till it "stuck."  A huv an auld
popular sangbuik o ma great-granmither's (wi nae date, but sure it's auld),
an accordin tae ma wee brither it's th less kennt tune.  A huv tae trust th
wee keech as A dinna read stannart notation, mind.
