Description

Ronald Caplan’s rare interviews–with fiddlers like Winston “Scotty” Fitzgerald and Johnny Wilmot, pianists Marie MacLellan and Dougie MacPhee, piper Alex Currie, John Allan Cameron and many others- deliver memories and rich insight to Cape Breton music that has won the world. These stories offer background and enthusiasm from the lives of some of Cape Breton’s most beloved musicians- from Dan R. MacDonald to Rita MacNeil to Jerry Holland and more. In their own words, Talking Cape Breton Music-The Expanded Edition-is a lasting companion to the music.
