dig, some flat picking
Nice Scots name, eh.
You can find our band Southwind or Southwind Irish Band in McCabes alumni list. We had to change it to Southwind Irish Band because some jerk called us up on the phone one day complaining that THEY were Southwind and we can't use that name. They were a country western outfit. My wife the manager recovered quickly and said you mean you are Southwind Irish Band? We never heard from them again.
We had a nice name for ourselves back in the late 70's, early 80's. Even a national syndicated TV show, that was a trip.
