DESCRIPTION:
J. Janssen said Good, but could have been better.. This is a nice addition to the fiddle library and presents 78 tunes arranged in sets that provide a methodology for players to incorporate into their repertoire. Additionally, the brief introductory material is helpful in developing a feel for the Cape Breton style. However, I found the lack of an included CD d.

I own, and use all my Cape Breton and Scottish collections but Sandy MacIntyre's is the best yet.This book has tunes organized into sets. I use it for teachin
