Re: Old Time Fiddling
Just for the record, fiddlers like MacMaster and MacIsaac don’t exactly just “stray into the Celtic.” Their music comes directly from the Scottish Highlands as preserved by Cape Breton descendants and as such is very much Celtic as opposed to Old Time.

Re: Session tunes
Find a copy of Mel Bay’s Complete Irish Fiddler, by Pete Cooper, and look at the index, with a few exceptions, most of the tunes are session standards. Come to think of it, for where you are developmentally, this would be a useful purchase.
