I love music, culture, and basic human rights. Education is the cornerstone. Love is the answer. Art is power.

"Class, this reminds me of a song written in the very same time period we learned about today. Let's talk about the context for this piece of music and it's cultural and historical impact on the society of the time, as well as our own."

To a Louse, On Seeing one on a Lady’s Bonnet at Church Robert Burns Ha! whare ye gaun, ye crowlan ferlie! Your impudence protects you sairly: I canna say but ye strunt rarely, Owre gawze and lace; Tho’ faith, I fear ye dine but sparely, On sic a place. Ye ugly, creepan, blastet wonner, Detested, shunn’d, by saunt an’ sinner, How daur ye set your fit upon her, Sae fine a Lady! Gae somewhere else and seek your dinner, On some poor body. Swith, in some beggar’s haffet squattle; There ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle, Wi’ ither kindred, jumping cattle, In shoals and nations; Whare horn nor bane ne’er daur unsettle, Your thick plantations.
A black-and-white pen drawing of a lady in profile, looking to the left. She has a self-satisfied expression on her face and is wearing a huge bonnet, tied on with an enormous bow and topped with more bows and two slightly bedraggled feathers. A large, fat, creepy-crawly hovers above her.
Now haud you there, ye’re out o’ sight, Below the fatt’rels, snug and tight, Na faith ye yet! ye’ll no be right, Till ye’ve got on it, The vera topmost, towrin height O’ Miss’s bonnet. My sooth! right bauld ye set your nose out, As plump an’ gray as onie grozet: O for some rank, mercurial rozet, Or fell, red smeddum, I’d gie you sic a hearty dose o’t, Wad dress your droddum! I wad na been surpriz’d to spy You on an auld wife’s flainen toy; Or aiblins some bit duddie boy, On ’s wylecoat; But Miss’s fine Lunardi, fye! How daur ye do ’t?
O Jenny dinna toss your head, An’ set your beauties a’ abread! Ye little ken what cursed speed The blastie’s makin! Thae winks and finger-ends, I dread, Are notice takin! O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us An’ foolish notion: What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us, And ev’n Devotion!
O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An’ foolish notion:
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,
And ev’n Devotion!

As not only a McPherson but a student of Scottish culture, I would LOVE to see this... unfortunately, the drive is a bit much for me. If you're ever in the States and need a Fiddlin' Red Jamie, hmu.

I find the mystery of James/Ossian to be quite interesting and am invested in the furthering (and gentle correcting) of Scottish culture in America. I'm a music teacher and a proud McPherson myself. Is there a way to access your work from the US?

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”
