 But it would be nice to post the sheet music as well, at least for the sake
of deaf people.

Tablature will give people a hard time who are used to *following music in
score*.

Reinhard/Ron my dear....I would start, but fear my
paltry efforts at poetry and reminiscences don't
qualify as Lowlands oriented, coming as they do from a
purely West Coast of North America lass...albeit with
Appalachian roots.  Truly, there is naught in 'em can
be pegged to even that region, much less the original
Scots homeland.

But I sure am enjoying being witness again to the give
and take here and am stunned by the beauty of the
photos posted thus far.

It's our Marsha!  Lovely to hear from you.

Marsha, I can understand why you feel somewhat hesitant.  But I assure you
that there's no reason for it at this end.

   - It's not a competion.
   - We're not expecting "professional"-level works.
   - We want Marsha's creation to have Marsha's personal stamp on it. In
   other words, individuality is the key, and this applies to everyone.
   - The theme is "My Lowlands," and it is to be expressed in any form
   that can be put online, and it may be in any language and dialect. You don't
   need to use a Lowlands language, though I assume you, Marsha, will if you
   use English. Remember: English, any English falls into this category.
   - If anyone needs language and/or editing help, all they need to do is
   send an appeal to the List. The same goes for anyone who wants to run their
   works by friendly and supportive eyes or ears before submitting them. Also,
   you may ask for technical assistance.
   - Collaboration between two or more Lowlanders is fine, as is
   collaboration with one or two non-members as long as the non-members do not
   object to the member's name being displayed as the main one. Calls for
   collaboration may be posted on the List.
   - There is no set limit as to the number and size of one person's
   contributions, but we would begin to cut you off if you gobbled up most our
   server allocation or a file is so large that it takes people a long time to
   download it.

Thanks, Marsha dear, for having "gotten it" (the idea as well as the

Take care out there!

Reinhard/Ron
