        Do I get any credit for saying I thought of it as a 
        country? ;-)

        Q. Are we not devo? 
        A. Och aye, laddie! 
 
        Now for the ObProg: 
 
        How about a rundown on Scotprog? 
 
        I know that technically the Shulman family of Gentle 
        Giant was from the Gorbles (Scottish slang for 
        "testicles" yes?) though only Phil grew up there, the 
        other lads came after the family moved to Portsmouth. And 
        Fish is a Scot, right?, though Marillion is an Aylesbury 
        band, like Gary Glitter. 
 
        Some of the prog folk is good, like Five Hand Reel, 
        Tannahill Weavers, Battlefield Band, Silly Wizard. 
 
        What else can you tell us? 
 
        I notice that Dave Stewart was the animal trainer on 
        Hamish MacBeth, but maybe it's not the same one that was 
        in the Eurythmics. 
 
        Well, lang may yer chillum reek! 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
