    I should have been using an A chord instead of a G in one of the tunes but since we basically went in cold to the studio with no real game plan about what we were going to play I think we did good……

    Kennedy Street …
    Kennedy Street March (though I’d like to hear Athol Highlanders Farewell to Loch Katrine… might be similar, but this particular March was written by Dan Hughie MacEachern) The 2nd tune is an old Strathspey called “Devil in the Kitchen” found in the Harp and Claymore music collection.

    Comment: as a fiddler & guitar player & listener/student of CB music - this is a great job on these tunes. Put yourself on a stage, mike yourself up & see how you do, otherwise. To get to this level takes years. The subtle elements are all there: the slurs, the quick wrist-flicks, and the guitar chord changes are solid - and the instruments sound ok together. Where’s your CD, guys ? I’d buy !
