Another Evening of Scottish Music

We moved on to Prince Edward Island (PEI) yesterday. Last night we attended the MacKinnon Family Scottish Concert near Richmond. There were 5 other people there. Reading the description, we pictured some young children playing along with mom and dad. We had a wonderful evening, but nothing like what we expected. Dad died in 1988. Mom and the kids are barely hanging on, with numerous medical problems. Mother is on the right. Floyd is in the middle. He walks with a walker and plays his fiddle by supporting his left elbow on his knee. Cecilia is on the left. She was dynamite, playing piano, bagpipes, guitar, fiddle, penny whistle and singing very nicely. Alan said that if he had known what it was going to be like, he would not have gone, but he's really glad he went.
