I have been searching in vain for two tunes: Renfrew County Waltz, composed by Peter Dawson and May Time Swing. Composer and artist unknown. All help greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim

Stacey Lynn Read, young New Brunswick fiddler has a great version of Maytime Swing.

Her site is a LOT different than the last time I was there, but the sound file is still there. I would definitely recommend any of her albums, even the one she did when she was 9.

Read the review from the knowledgeable Miss Kimberley W. She won't steer you wrong. Her whole site, linked at the bottom of the page in the link given is worth a look for lovers of all things Celtic.

Thanks Dale for the site info. Nice arrangement for Maytime Swing. However, the old ear is not quite as keen as it used to be and therefore am depending more on sheet music and ABC versions of tunes as an aid to learning new compositions. Am still hoping someone will come up with these. Thanks again

Neg. Willie-O   On the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. West of Halifax: just slightly west of Mahone Bay. Many fine Maritime fiddlers in the area.
