I tried this a few months back without any luck. I am still looking for music notation for "The Mouth of the Tobique" (the Tobique is a river in Canada). I don't need it in midi, abc, or a recording. If anyone can help, Thanks!

Alice - you can find it in "The Fiddlers Fake Book" an Oak publication carried by many music stores. If you can't find it, contact me at [e-mail], and I'll mail you a copy (I may even have two versions )

This thread is three years old and Les sent the music over to me, but I thought I would revive it to add this recording, done on the 17th of this month:

Mairi's Wedding/Mouth of the Tobique

From the creator of Fiddles on the Tobique, Bill Miller, [e-mail]:

"The fiddles on the Tobique concert this year will be Friday June 22, Sat 23, and sunday the 24th and there will be a week long fiddle camp to teach young fiddlers under 18 stepdancing and the fiddle and piano. Last years concert , and fiddle river run was a heck of a success there were 379 canoes on the river !!! and ove r 75 musicians !

This year there is also going to ba a hot air balloon set up so hpefully if the ris no wind we can get some video shots from the balloon of the fiddles in the river

It sounds like fun, wish I could be there. I invited Bill to the Mudcat, but don't know if he will ever show up here. I have a photo of the event that he sent, shot from one of the canoes on the river. He builds canoes, and that is how this gathering started. - Alice
