This is a great recording. I love this tune. Have you ever heard Bryan Sutton's take on this tune on his Bluegrass Guitar Album? It's such a different sound, but it's still cool to hear tunes played in different styles. I especially like hearing people play in the Appalachian style. I'm posting lessons teaching how to play Old-Timey in order to help preserve it. Check it out on my channel and at FiddlinMike. com. Thanks :)

J'ai découvert Jean Carignan et son talent extraordinaire, en 1977, en écoutant par hasard un disque de chez LEGACY records, puis un autre de chez PHILO. Depuis je l'ai toujours considéré comme le plus grand violoneux inter-celtique contemporain, avec Graham Townsend et Nathalie Mc Master, mais chacun dans un style différent. Quel bonheur qu'on ait pensé à l'enregistrer en video, chacun peut ainsi constater que Jean Carignan était un fiddler hors normes.

cape breton fiddle is no 1 to me but this is beyong amazing. this kind of playing is genius and motivates one to excell at whatever instrument. i went thru levis, quebec many times and wondered what went on there. a thank you to anyone who helped in making these recordings available....a treasure!!

Not a patch on Aly Bain's version-half the length and twice as good!
