This is great news. I love her stuff.

Anything that is in the Scottish and Cape Breton must have lists plus a few instructor choice to mix things up.

Wow. Nice to have another great fiddler on board.

Exciting. Just need to find more time to learn and practice.

P.S. The variety of styles is one of the reasons I decided to join you here. I’ve been looking for a good version of Whiskey Before Breakfast and yours caught my ear.

Hi Casey,

Hanneke has the right groove but if you are looking at rounding out the team with some Cape Bretoners Andrea Beaton and Kimberly Fraser (both have websites) are two I am aware of already in the teaching mode. Certainly Andrea – I took some group workshop lessons – can point you to others. You’ll need the piano track to really make it pop.

Cheers, Doug

I learned a version of Jean’s Reel a while back and had to try to figure out the embellishments from listening to it. Natalie MacMaster plays a great version on her album. Would love to clean it up and learn some of the embellishments and variations (like the B – Bflat in part 2/4). Definitely the version I heard has the Scottish / Cape Breton flavor.

Cheers,

Doug

I let Andrea Beaton know I mentioned her as a potential instructor. Cheers.
