Buddy's right about Irish and modern influences pushing aside traditional Cape Breton music. Faster is not better, and the steady progression from lament to strathspey to reel, with its invigorating change of pace, is alien to modern representations of Celtic music. Buddy MacMaster and Gerry Holland, I thank you for enriching my life!
