Animaterra Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 What an inspiring story- he sounds like a wonderful man. Me, I don't know that I'll have all those years, but may we all have the joy and satisfaction from making music that he has. My favorite quote from the article: "They're a' braw!"

Helen Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Oh well I was kinda hoping someone would explain what " They're a' braw" means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animaterra Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Oh well I was kinda hoping someone would explain what " They're a' braw" means. What, lassie, ye canna ken guid Scots? From an on-line Scots-English dictionary here "braw" = fine, elegant, beautiful, excellent "a'"= all "They're all beautiful"- meaning his tunes. Only it sounds bonnier in Scots!

JimLucas Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 "braw" = fine, elegant, beautiful, excellent "Bra", pronounced the same, also means "good" in both Norwegian and Swedish. But that should be no surprise if you look at those three countries on the map and then try to imagine where their fishing boats might meet. In Denmark, on the other hand "god" means "good" and "gud" means "god". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
