now playing: Amazing Grace // bagpipes. The MacKay Mind:
Reading up on some family heritage, found the following in a paper by Dr. R.L. Mackay, linked to above. Thought it was rather interesting and indicative.
"Most writers produce books of Sermons, Theology with a Presbyterian slant and Philosophy. Some way behind, and in about equal numbers are three groups, namely Legal subjects, Local and General History, and Poetry. Thereafter, in diminishing frequency come Education, Economic and Social Reform, Science, Engineering, Geography and Travel. The writing of novels is inconspicuous. War, as distinct from History, is rather rare. Almost absent, alas, are Music, Drama, Painting, Illustration, Crafts of Mankind. Stranger! If you think of marrying a Mackay YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! " BAHAHAHA!!! YES! There it is, a warning!
Keep it real!
