Hi Rob was Edinburgh a centre of cultural music then or was you one of its forefathers? Great image by the way

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm the only musician who has ever lived in Edinburgh

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Ye old romantic Rob Nice treatment to the pic, you've become well versed in the Photoshopping.

 

[Brian Moore]

That's no you, that's Jimmy Page!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Jimmy MacPage...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Someone has taken a wee bite out of ya lute Rob!

Looking at this shot is like time travel - you from a different time, looking back at us.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Starving musician in those days, Chris, so I had to eat what I could find. Of course, I was thinking of you guys at the time, knowing that you would see it as an allegory of the artist in an uncaring society. Well spotted!

 

[Brian Moore]

I know people who eat a lot, Rob, but you're the first I've known who eats a lute.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Groan! [doh]

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Time flies, Rob. Brian has a point.
Jimmy, Robert and John Paul. You probably have the talents of those three guys' combined.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Of course I do. Not!

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

You should be able to sue Apple for the product name Mac.

 

[Pete Askew]

You should get her to take some more! Love the cape by the way!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha, never saw the cape before! Suitable, though
