Previously his music has been re-issued in paperback, this new expanded edition will include photos, maps, anecdotes, history, genealogy and poetry. This added information was generously supplied by Peter Duffus of the Glenbuchat Heritage Archive. Music notation and footnotes by Paul Cranford with chordal accompaniment suitable for guitar or piano by Mario Colosimo.
