CD
featuring 18 different Cape Breton
musicians In the early '80s, Captain
Simon Fraser's famous 1816 Collection, The
Airs and Melodies Peculiar to the Highlands of Scotland and
the Isles was
reproduced in Cape Breton. At that time, a three hour
recording was issued. Subsequently, this rekindled some
interest in the music. This CD has been compiled from the
best of those 1982 sessions. SPECIAL PRICE - $14.95 CD
