Jeez, I shoulda posted ages ago to congratulate Ewan and Katherine for this beautiful book! When Ewan came to my school just about a year ago, he simply charmed the kiddies- and when I popped in the cd that came with the book, they cheered when they heard his voice singing "Coulter's Candy"- without a review, they sang the whole song along with him!
What I like about the book is the variety- from children's songs and street songs to ballads to fiddle tunes, and some explanation of all. It's a slim volume attempting to encapsulate Scottish music, and as a snapshot look, to this 'Mercan of Scots descent it looks like a good job well done!
