GUEST,Julia Folklore: bagpipes in the US (45) RE: Folklore: bagpipes in the US 28 Apr 07


Yes, I was going to mention the Scottish loyalists who left Maine for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. These would have been the military types who would, as "Meself" has said, have been more likely to have a piping tradition.
I have heard that the Cape Breton pipers and fiddlers have carried on the older styles and preserved them. Thank goodness for that!

cheers- Julia
