Yes, MacInnis is still alive: I know that to be true for I am him. That is a sobering fact because most of the people in the film have passed away.
The film brings back a flood of memories.
CBC owns the contract but kindly gave rights to the Celtic Music Interpretive Center in Cape Breton. Rights are a kind of anachronism as all of this should be public property.

My God what a beautiful bit of film. First found out about Cape Breton at a session with English players and a wpman who travels there began to play a tune that lifted the place - What's that? says, I - Cape Breton, she replies. Magic stuff. Has a little hop to it like mainland dance music with the bounce of a shanty and the speed of those Orkney players, great to see. Thnak you.
its such a shame that the cape breton fiddle was once starting to vanish. so proud to say im keeping that tradition alive!

The Old Priest at the end of the tape captured the essence of Cape Breton music that has a special vibrancy and life to it .
