Furth fortune and fill the fetters

I'm Scottish - scots? Well, at least my surname is. My genealogy is a bit more diverse than that. One paternal great-grandmother rode a boat to America from Norway as an employee of a cruise line, and a maternal great-grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee. My dad's surname is scots in origin, and his father passed on a swatch of cloth with our family tartan, but my grandpa also spoke fluent German because his mother was from that country. My mother's maiden name is so English that we both still love tea and imperialism. Well, we like tea, at least, but we drink it southern-style because that's where she settled to raise me.But today I'm grasping at my scottish roots because I happened to put on an old playlist when I was driving today and got a hold on some Beta Band. Like many others, I'm sure, I first heard Beta Band while watching _High Fidelity_ and was intrigued enough to end up buying the "Three EPs" which is simply a work of genius. And these guys are renowned for their live shows. Makes me wish I would ever get the chance to see them live because what they lay down in the studio is amazingly brilliant. I also have "Hot Shots II," and will be buying "Heroes to Zeros" as soon as I can. I have faith in my Scottish brothers.
