Apples and oranges, it seems to me. Why bother trying to say who's "better"? On what basis of comparison?

That said, I love Cape Breton fiddling and had a great visit there this summer. Found a cd that does what I wanted to do -- record the sounds you hear at concerts and dances along the "Ceilidh Trail": The Heart of Cape Breton, Fiddle Music Recorded Live Along the Ceilidh Trail, from Smithsonian Folkways (SFW CD 40491).
