Well shucks and thanks. Jimmy Stephens is a wizard at playing and recording and that last track has him all over it...playing the fiddles and viola I think...(any fiddling you hear on any of those tracks is him not me)--Nathan Curry plays the pipes, not his usual instrument, sounds real good there.

As for the TWAIN set (Tunes Without An Interesting Name), the Schottische was originally called The Building Inspector, or The Staunch Presbyterian, but it just didn't take. The jig was an effort to make a weird Newfoundland/Quebec kind of sound that changes key in every part.
