Would anyone know who accompanied Joe Cormier on the Rounder LP Scottish Violin Music from Cape Breton Island; Rounder 7001 ?

Many hopeful thanks.

Fred, I will post your request on The Cape Breton Music List where someone should be able to help.

This is a reply from a knowledgeable cb music list member:

That was Joe's first LP — I'm quite sure it was Eddie Irwin on piano and Edmond Boudreau on guitar.

If you need absolute certainty, I can give Joe a call and ask him. My copy of that LP is for some reason MIA in the record room!

Hi Marcia,

Thanks for that. Irwin and Boudreau are definitely the suspects I was trying to recall.

Fred, I have just found your site. Do you remember me. I am Ken Dunlop and used to play fiddle. My email is [e-mail].

Hi Ken,

Good to hear from you. By my site, do you mean Worlds of Trad ? If so many happy listenings. Anyway, whaddya mean, used to play the fiddle? I hope this doesn't mean you've taken up an idle life of comfortable retirement.

We'll have to meet up sometime and have a jar together.

All the best,

Fred.
