some more tunes from the late great John MacDougall Any info on the tune titles would be most helpful Recorded Oct 5, 2001 on a Sony PD150 DVCAM Camera
the old guys do it the justice the tunes deserve, but ya have to give this generation credit too for how creative they are. it's just the old guys played it the way the were played
Celtic Colours did a concert in Mabou last year (2017) called John MacDougalls Tunebook... each artist went into the manuscript books to choose tunes and introduce them. Started with his nephew Ian MacDougall, a great fiddler in his own right. I think Ian is going to publish some of them. It was a great concert; I was in the front row.
John's cousin Ian has his tunebooks now and is preparing to publish them, but that may be a while yet before it happens. He's got a Herculean task ahead of him sorting through 38,000 tunes.
but thats also false because they put there own style into it, each fiddler was way different, mostly because of the ear playing, but it was still played the way it sounded for years, the timing the heart
