It's January 25, the Birthday Of Burns, and we like to celebrate every year with a poem honoring the Bard which was written by another Scottish poet, Robert Service.
This is EJ before he was the Engineering Johnson. The fiddle is for World War I songs which were part of this performance. One of the YouTube commenters complained that his accent is not very Scottish. His mother is a German who grew up in Missouri, his father is a Swede who grew up in Iowa, and he grew up in Southern Illinois, so his accent should be confused. Another commenter said that it was better than Mel Gibson's accent in "Braveheart." What matters is that he is enthusiastic about telling the story; so enjoy!
