An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary.
Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out !
Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

Ever since the local pub here in Fairlight advertised their 'Burns Night' plans (tonight) I have mostly been listening to Rabbie Burns, in verse and song. 
I've a few songs to share, for certain times during this year, but for now this widely acclaimed song of heartbreak is from a 5 Hand Reel album I have, 'For A' That' released in 1977. Vocals by Bobby Eaglesham > ‘Ae Fond Kiss’ 

The lyrics and more about this tale (see right hand column) can be found on -  www.bbc.co.uk/arts/robertburns/works/ae_fond_kiss/  - giving details of Robert Burns's association with Agnes McLehose.
