Walking the Floor: A Cape Breton Jig
I learned this simple, mighty little jig from the fiddle playing of Ashley MacIsaac. I'm not sure of the origin of the tune, but I guess it was originally a Scottish pipe tune or mouth music. Please supply the info.

Apparently composed by J. Chisholm:

Thanks, but who is J. Chisholm? A piper?

I don't know - sorry! I reckon this is a modern C.B. composition, written in the style of a Scottish pipe tune. Yeah, maybe he is a piper. By the way, I'm going to be in Japan after the August Montana session. I was thinking of checking out that Tokyo session you were talking about. What do you think? What are you doing end of August?

Oops sorry Jeremy I got carried away - that should have been in an e-mail. That's going to make no sense to anyone looking at these comments at a later date.

Maybe Jori? Check this - it's only a wild guess:

This tune is by John Chisholm and appears in the "master method" collection of bagpipe music from c. 1950. I don't know who John Chisholm was though. Maybe Kenny might know.
