Buddy MacMaster

So sad to learn of the passing of the legendary Cape Breton fiddler Buddy MacMaster.

There is a grand tribute to him on the CBC website, including words from his niece Natalie.

Thanks for sharing that; he died on August 20, and on August 21 a legendary Scottish folksinger Jean Redpath passed away. Wikipedia has a good article about her life and a list of her recordings.
