It's "Traditional Scottish Songs and Music",(Gallus, Ewan McVicar, 84 High Street, Linlithgow, EH49 7AQ Scotland.) It's an attractive soft-cover book with words and written music for 43 songs and tunes, aling with explanations of topics such as how pibroch works, Gaelic songs for waulking, dancing and devotion. It covers a diverse spectrum of subjects ranging through History, struggles, football, whaling, mining, farm life and magic. It comes with a CD with 32 recordings of songs plus nine tales and five bonus karaoke tracks. And it's being sold for the ridiculously low proce of 5 quid ($9.50 US).

I got mine at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, but I suspect would be available from Ewan direct as above. wr. |

It also was "ridiculously" cheap, free in fact, on line, though I don't know if it's currently available. MacKillop had titles on Mel Bay but not this one I understand. Sorry for the drift. Peace, Mooh. |
