Aa ainser:
Eah, Aa reckon Aa'd feel abaot the same ifn hit was a Bill Monroe tribute
album ba the Corries... praod at they'd be innerstit enough te come hit
an inly wincin at the very adee. A baady ort te stick *most* te what he
knows, but he ortn't te feel baond te jest the one thang.

(Yes, I suppose I'd feel much the same were it a Bill Monroe tribute
album by the Corries... while pleased that they'd be interested enough to
attempt it, I'd be inwardly wincing at the very idea. A person should
stick mostly to what is his own, but shouldn't fear to branch out.)

Ba the way, naas bonnet.
