Alas, being so far north, I'd have to decline such a meeting. Unless you're willing to have one in Alberta.

"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)
You do realize where this is heading don't you? One day the Scottish bar thread and this one will be combined to form an
Annual Highlander Radio Highland Festival
so that all the people you have brought together through the music can meet and have a great time.
Count me in..

Alberta works for me. I've never been there. Then again I've never been most places so it's all an adventure.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
I have been across the border oh so briefly. Once as a child at Niagra Falls and once when I presented a paper at a symposium in Windsor.
So, though technically the answer is yes, in reality the answer is not really. I'd love to take one of those train trips across Canada. And I'd love to go to the Maritimes.
Maybe when I win the lottery.... oh... wait.... I'd probably have to buy a ticket first wouldn't I?
But hey, set those fires as beacons and start mulling those apples. Maybe your site will be chosen for the Highlander Radio Highland (or maybe Celtic) Festival!
Been to Victoria Island in British Columbia but want to make the trip to Nova Scotia where alot of the Scottish settled there...anyone ever been up there? Annabelle
