He is on my list of top 5 people I have to meet.
Thanks for putting that on here. I watched it already, and it was good.

i'll try and introduce you to Davy during Sowbug Kelly........he's only around when he can be..........in other words, if he has to work, he has to work. But he usually tyes a shift or two at least. And T-Bird will be around more and she'll tye too. He's takin' our house guest Chris Stewart (who will share a table with Misa this year [2012]....."THE Tenkara table"), on the river a couple days before Sowbug. ;) If you see him before i see you both, just go introduce yourself. 8-)

The one I was particularly drawn to was the Scottish accent. I love that accent. I have a lot of Scot-Irish blood, so maybe that has something to do with it. Scottish, Irish, English, Cherokee, German, French. I think that pretty well covers it. My son is a strawberry blonde. He looks a lot like my father at that age. But there is Scot-Irish in my son from both parents. Oh dang, I have taken a turn in the wildflower field here. It was me thinking of that accent that did it. ;)
