Hi friends. Just wanted to let you know that I've been selected to go to Scotland at the end of this month for the Burnsong. Burnsong's objective is to promote, nurture and encourage songwriting in Scotland. During this year of Homecoming -- inspired by the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national poet -- I will be taking part in a week-long songwriters' retreat capped off by the "Big Gig" playing for MSPs at the Scottish Parliament. So if you know any MSPs, ask them to show up on November 30th. I've never done it, but I imagine playing to an empty House of Parliament would be a bit of a bummer...
