I’m particularly interested in any notes that that deal with the song “Cairn o Mount” that is on this LP. I know that Tony wrote the tune and the words {some of them) come from a poem by Alexander Balfour but if there’s any further info on the sleeve or insert then I’d be grateful if some could put them on a post. Thanks Bob Blair |

From: Reinhard Bob, the notes on Tony Cuffe's CD are rather terse: A song developed by Tony from the poem first published by Alexander Balfour (1767-1829) of Monikie, Perthshire in 1820. Brig o’ Dye, Cairn o’ Mount, Clochnaben (now Clachnaben) and the River Dee are all in rural Aberdeenshire. |

I've always liked that track but didn't realize it was his tune. The guitar part is classic Cuffe, and I think melodically/harmonically it reminds me a lot of his version of Jamie Raeburn with Ossian. |
