Frank, thanks for your comments on this and many other dances. 1st Man and 3rd Man are recentlydeceased. The wee fellow, 3rd man, was a composer and professor of music, awarded Order of Canada. He composed an opera, Taptoo, presenting the history of Upper Canada (i.e. Ontario) from founding of the colony to the War Of 1812. He included musical references to De'il Amang The Tailors.
Alan, thanks for your kind comments. Lots of nostalgia in the video… 1st Man and 3rd Man have recently gone to their reward. The wee fellow, 3rd man, was an honoured composer and teacher, awarded Order of Canada. He composed an opera, Taptoo, presenting the history of Upper Canada (i.e. Ontario) from founding of the colony to the War Of 1812. He included musical references to De'il Amang The Tailors.
