After dinner, Ed Miller recapped some of the things he hoped we would take aways from our excursion to the Borders area of Scotland. Since this particular tour does not include the stomping grounds of Robert Burns, Ed took this opportunity to sing some of Robert Burn’s songs with us. As we sang Auld Lang Syne, Ed was joined by a very tour participants who play fiddle.
The fiddlers played a few tunes with Ed. As the moment had a ceilidh atmosphere, Ed asked for volunteers from anyone else to share a talent. I sang “The Rooster Song”.
You did NOT sing the Rooster Song!
ReplyDeleteI DID sing the Rooster Song! When I introduced it I said, "This is not a Scottish Song." Ed muttered under his breath, "Then it must be crrrap."
ReplyDeleteThere have been several requests for the words. One person is thinking of putting it into Scots dialect for the final night sharing.
And we sang it in your honor one evening at OSAS. It's not OSAS without the Rooster Song!
ReplyDeleteI hope it was sung underneath the Giant Weeping Beech Tree.
