I recorded this at West Mabou Dance. It was the night Ashley was playing at Glencoe and anyone who went to Ashley missed a heck of a dance. They started slow but it picks up near the end. Great dance and the last time I saw the MacLellan Trio.
My friend Murry Gallant is a retired Coal Miner who lives in New Waterford, Cape Breton and is a woodcarver and all around great guy. He is a fiddle player and composer as well. This a piece the local news did on him a few years back.
I ocasionally get people asking what I think about my guitar made by Cape Breton luthier Otis Tomas. Besides telling people I love it I figured I'd put some video of me noodling on my parlor size Tomas guitar. I need to have it set-up as its developed a slight buzz due to humidity but its an amazing sounding guitar for a small body.
