Ava - It's Like Scottish Country Dancing


Learning to Scottish Country Dance with a fair degree of competency allowed me to experience one of life's great simple pleasures - this being an opportunity to dance in unison (with a mutually sustained positive and focussed energy) with a "set" of 6-8 people .


A well executed, perfectly timed dance brings its dancers into a type of accord that is very, very satisfiying. In fact, I would say the feeling is ("small o") orgasmic.

Is it easy to learn? No. Well, not exactly. It's complex but it isn't hard once you know the steps.

Now, why am I bringing this up right now? Well, it's because when I was looking for an image to illustrate this blog (which is actually about creating and/or editing items in the eshop on The Fiddleguy's website) I found what I was looking for when I came across a picture from my Scottish Country Dancing days.

Is stocking a web store with worthwhile and enticing items easy to do? No. Well, not exactly. It's complex but it isn't hard once you know the steps.

And, luckily, in both cases I have had good instruction from accomplished teachers.
