I survived Jenny Kwan's fundraiser: Scotch tasting party.
It's a small house party of a fundraiser. There are many different bottles of Scotch for you to try, along with some wonderful appetizer and snack foods. Jenny's husband Dan has a wonderful way with food, and he sent me home with some incredibly delicious chocolate pate.
My accordion and I provided some musical entertainment. Jenny said I was a hit. Her husband Dan booked me for a return engagement for next year.
What did I do? Simply lead singalongs of "When Asian Eyes Are Smiling," and "My Haggis Lies Over the Ocean." It fit perfectly with Jenny's Chinese heritage and her husband Dan's Scottish heritage. We also sang "Loch Lomand (You Take the High Road)" with Vancouver city councillor Heather Deal leading one of the verses, while everybody joined in for the chorus.
I also performed the Address to the Haggis, while former Vancouver city councillor Jim Green cut up the haggis. Okay... it wasn't a traditional reading. It was my very untraditional Haggis Rap. Dan and Jenny said that in the 5 years they have been hosting their Scotch tasting party, it was the best reading of the Burns immortal poem, they had witnessed.
It was a great party.... I will definitely return for next year.
