Subject: RE: Celtic Fiddle Tunes for beginners?
Thankds Malcom for that background stuff.
   Like Big Mick, I dont get wildly excited by the term "Celtic". There is a wonderful amount of gorgeous fiddle music from Scotland, England, Wales, France,America,Ireland, etc etc etc. If you like it,play it. If it comes from your family, so much the better. But the term "Celtic", wrapped up with some fake history, seems to cover a multitude of sins and is a modern bit of meaningless drivel. This music was largely created before the term "Celtic" was invented, so why use it?
