Did someone say music? Oldraven entered the pub and, walking to the opposite corner while taking hold of a stool on his way by, sets up camp by the dusty stand up. He plucked a few strings, causing many of the glasses hanging over Hamm's heat to rattle and even a few to fall. It's a bit out of tune. Who's got a pitch pipe?

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
Raven motions for Hamm to hand over the 6 string that hangs behind the bar, quickly puts it in tune and starts a lively rendition of the washer woman using his patented 5 feather picking technique. "It's been a long time Oldie but I see you haven't lost your chops" he caws

I have to say the same, cousin. But I'm getting a little dry. Hamm held up a tumbler, and oldraven nodded. Sounds like a plan. Someone pick a song, though, because I'll be here all night trying to decide.
Lady Dreamer turns to Miss Cat. " Who could be still with this fine music filling the pub? Will you excuse me for a few minutes, MissCat? " She rises and, smiling, curtsies to the Jester with a lift of her eyebrows. " Dear friend?"

Raven glares at the paton with the claymore and haggis in his beard as he starts to make requests before the first song is even finished but starts the first few notes of Blue Bonnets over the Border as soon as Who would be King But Charlie is finished
Raven bends down from stool to dip beak in his Bushmills. His thirst momentarily quench he winks at the gent with the Claymore and shouts, "Here's one for ya haggis beard. " to the tune of Scotland the Brave "Bring me the Whisky Mother, I'm feeling frisky mother...."
Bowing to the lady, the jester takes her hand and leads to the dance floor. "Ah Dreamer, it has been far too long. Much have I missed you and my other friends. You dance wonderfully, but please bear with my clumsiness. It has been too long since I wore this form".
