The links you posted made me really nostalgic, Jon! What instrument do you play? My family is French Canadian, and my grandfather is a violin maker by trade. I spent much of my childhood in kitchens packed with slightly inebriated Frenchmen with instruments stumbling jovially through jigs and reels late into the night.

I mostly play GDAE frets (mandolin, tenor banjo, etc.). I could probably still get some slower morris dance tunes out of D/G melodeon and dabble with guitar occasionally. I sometimes wish I'd been born into the sort of musical tradition you were.

PS. Thanks for the song. I enjoyed it. Sort of reminds me of a holiday we had in Scotland (and I can think of a few places in Wales where I once lived too) where the midges get you.

Thanks, everyone! We are even considering the Bahamas, but hurricane season lasts from June 1- Nov 30... not sure if we should go.

Yeah come to California it's way better. California or Hawaii if it has to be United States. Outside of United States, bora bora or tasmania.

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and it isn't all that. I would go to some other tropical paradise.

Haha all my family that lives out there is rude. Most of them anyways. Hawaiians are very prideful, I don't know why.
