Thread Name: Irish & Scottish Fiddle Music Books?
Subject: Irish & Scottish Fiddle Music Books?
Hey, there, you all have inspired me to pick up my violin, again, only not to play classical so much as to elarn a few good Irish and Scottish tunes. I learned a few good songs from my dad and can play them by ear, but I really would like to learn more.

I would appreciate it if any of you would recommend a good music book I can start with. I prefer the slow, love-type songs, but wouldn't mind a mix.

What made me think of this is our local NPR is playing, right now as we read, a cd entitled "Celtic Lovers" by Maire (accent over the "a") Breatnach. It's a beautiful bunch of music with a good mix of fast and slow lyrical.

Thanks,
