The Gavinator playing a set of three fine modern Scots reels… it’s what I like to describe as Heavy Wood…

Here are L.E MucCullough’s notes on the first tune…
Not Safe with a Razor derives from a night at an especially gruesome honky tonk outside Houston, Texas, when one of our band members we’ll call ‘Jean-Pierre’ exhibited an extreme infatuation toward a female patron possessing six-inch black stilleto nails, breath that could scorch paint at ten feet, and enough tattoos to cover a circus tent. "What do you think?" he whispered to Tiny, the six-foot-eight-inch, 300-pound, glass-eyed bouncer, as we packed up for the evening. "Should I go for it?" "Well, son," said Tiny, calmly caressing the sawed-off pool cue in his belt, "there’s two kinds of
women down here in Texas. One kind is the girl you’d take home to see your momma…. sweet, gentle, trust her with your last penny and know she’ll be there for you come hell or high water." "And the other kind?" "The other kind, is what you call ‘not safe with a razor.’ And, son, you look like you bleed awful easy."
