Great tune Jerry! My mom’s family was Scottish(Bruce clan), and though I’ve never been, your music takes me to a land I can imagine living with my ancestors long ago.

Mine too Mary – MacKenzie clan here! If you ever get a chance to visit the Highlands, don’t miss out. It’s an astonishing country.

Really beautiful, you can hear old Catholic Church music in the tones. Some of those chords were just amazing. Play on, Jerry!
