| Meritocracy, in that founder:elect::hired help:preterite? [TBV and PG are separated both by a century and by EMH] Where does lowland scots come in? (I had thought this might refer to PG, due to "Bonnie Dundee", but ere Mons Meg and her marrows spake twa words or three, a few clicks leads to a background closer to the daffodil than the thistle: http://cdn.ans.org/about/presidents/docs/john-graham-nn-arti... ) EDIT: ah, there are ancestral links: mentions of kilts and an epigone "Ian Angus"... Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKoYT4febHM (2m50s) EDIT2: heavily on one side of the ceremonial/instrumental spectrum, some very neo (2012) Edwardians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avuYx-rjXmk&t=34s (looks like the US Army got rid of "caissons", lyrically at least, in 1956, but here the RHA is still pulling them, in front of the limbers, in the XXI) |
