Buddy MacMaster
Joining Buddy on this
recording are many of the accompanists he has played with
throughout his 60 years fiddling
|
The Judique Flyer was a
steam-driven passenger train that replaced the old
stagecoach line running between Inverness and Point Tupper
on Cape Breton's west coast. In 1938, a 15 year old Buddy
MacMaster boarded The Judique Flyer to return home after
playing for his first dance. From that time Buddy's
reputation as a fiddler spread up and down the Judique line.
Today he is recognized by many as the world's leading
exponent of the Cape Breton fiddle style.

Remarkably, each of the 14
cuts features a different piano player, including his own
daughter Mary Elizabeth, as well as many of the top
accompanists in Cape Breton today. The CD booklet researched
historical and biographical notes, including archival
photographs.
