One of the members from the Nitten Folk Club made a comment on Roberta’s blog about the song Reaching by Lesley and Rebecca Hale. I tried to upload a copy so folks could check it out, unfortunately wordpress has that “feature” disabled.
Anyhow, in my poking around I jumped over to the Nitten Folk Clubs web site. Nitten, by the way is the locals name for the town of Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland, where we used to live, and miss terribly.
The Nitten Folk club would meet on Thursday evenings at the Dean Tavern in downtown (read as only main street) in Newtongrange. Well, it turns out that some of the folk there have put together a band. The Ragged Glory. The web site isn’t filled in yet, but I’m WAITING patiently to hear some of their music, once it’s up on their website.
I’m in nostalgia mode. I sure miss those Thursday nights.

Hi Rich, thank you for your kind comments about us. It’s been a real rollercoaster ride for us this past few months. We thought we would record the CD as a bit if a laugh (even though we were serious about our recording) but things have taken on a life of their own. We sold out a show on the festival fringe (the first act at that venue to do so) and have just heard we’ve sold out a 2nd show. It is only a 55 seater but next stop Carnegie Hall. I didn’t think we had 55 friends (let alone 110!)
Have been reading your blog about the girls first day at school. Believe me it’s not any easier from the other side of the chalk. May and both our daughters are all teachers and are not looking with any great anticipation to going back. Be gentle with your teachers, remember they have feelings too!
Hope things are progressing as you would hope. Keep on rockin’
Big Jim
