On the Ed McCurdy Traditions show, Clary Croft mentioned a book about Helen Creighton. Here's the information on how to get it:

You can order it straight from Clary at:5959 Spring Garden Road, Suite 1008, Halifax, NS,Canada. B3H 1Y5.There is a web page and newsletter published by the Helen Creighton Folklore Society. You can access both via:CREIGHTON
And for all the fiddlers...I just got 'Bothwell Boy: the music of John McCusker'. Fantastic. Those interested in Scottish music might try getting the Temple Catalog from: Temple Records, Shillinghill, Temple, Midlothian, Scotland, EH23 4SH. You can also contact them e-mail about the catalog at catalogue@templerecords.demon.co.uk
I'm also intersted in hearing what you've found. Whats the planned summer reading list???
