The road to Errogie

I played at the usual Sunday evening session in the Nelson this evening and played two tunes, the second of which is a reel called 'The road to Errogie'. Its a fab tune on the latest Flook album. Here is a picture of Flook.

I wondered where Errogie was and discovered it is Scotland and not Ireland as I had thought. The Errogie website says...

'Errogie is situated in the centre of the Scottish Highlands, midway between Inverness & Fort Augustus on the B862. Errogie nestles in the hills on the south side of Lochness. Only 30 minutes from Inverness the Highland capital, it is popular with bird watchers, anglers and hikers.'

I must visit it someday. Whoever was inspired to write such a brilliant tune must have connected with the place.

My friend kate discovered this afternoon that an excellent title for a tune would be 'the hair that got caught in the flute'. This would fit in with other such enlightened tunes such as 'dusty windowsills' and 'the cook in the kitchen'.

I'm off to write 'The cat that scratched the carpet' and 'The tuna mayonaise sandwich'
