Cheers, Jim.Interesting similarity re bell and booze. Possibly some connection re USA and here, as you say.

Thanks Jamie! That trip is on my bucket list for sure. In the mililtary here there's often a brass bell hanging at the end of the bar. If anyone rings it they buy a round for all. Sounds like a similar tradition which I'm sure came over here with our ancestors.

Nice playing on a great build, Jim. As we say in Scotland " you're on the bell" which means that its the other person who has to buy the drink, ( not always because its his turn, as the person saying this can be pleading poverty, having lost all his money on the horses etc ) BTW I don't work for the Tourist Board lol

To cut a long story short ( which I don't usually do btw! ), I will be " on the bell" if you and Nancy ever visit here

Cheers

Jamie

Thanks Nancy. My Grampa McReynolds came here from Scotland as a young boy. As far as I know he played no instruments but his daughter (my mom) was a child prodigy classical pianist. I never felt a connection with classical music but music from Scotland and Ireland sent shivers down my spine so I think there might be something deep in the genes that remembers.
