I ended up doing caricatures at the D-Note all night long, during the Ceilidh –featuring the Highland Rock band Angus Mohr. The music – and the atmosphere - were awesome! You take a rock & roll band and add bagpipes, and you have a guaranteed high-energy evening. Their song selection was great. The guys in the band, and their entourage, were terrific.<br />Check them out:<br /><a href="http://www.angusmohr.com/">http://www.angusmohr.com/</a><br />I wound up drawing until after the band stopped, and had a blast. I only had time to snap one photo, early in the evening.<br />Here are the happy campers:<br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4iEj8EzENO0/SftvjJbqeuI/AAAAAAAACB4/LMT9DzREvws/s1600-h/TartanDay09DNote001_50.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 166px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330977233541167842" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4iEj8EzENO0/SftvjJbqeuI/AAAAAAAACB4/LMT9DzREvws/s200/TartanDay09DNote001_50.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><div>Check out the guy in the kilt.
