from Angus Chisholm 78
First recorded in 1936 on 78 disc by Angus Chisholm and later published in Gordon MacQuarrie's Cape Breton Collection (1940). Vincent MacLellan was a carpenter, fiddler and amateur fiddle maker originally from the Margarees. Angus Allan Gillis was his first cousin. Vincent lived much of his life in the Mira area.
A slightly different setting is posted here from Brenda Stubbert, who recorded it with Howie MacDonald on her Endless Memories CD.
