I've recently run across John Taylor, out of California. He plays for the local Scottish Country Dance organization (Sacramento?) and has three CDs out now, any one of which is top notch. One is called Live, and that's what it is -- recorded at a dance. Another is called After the Dance, and is the best for listening by a general audience. Has a great MacPherson's Lament/Rant. And the third is titled Steppin' Out, which is dance music, including a marvelous strathspey set. I like this one best for dance-fiddle music. I do have some commercial interest, as I have a fiddle repair shop here in Idaho and now try to keep his CDs on hand for my local customers, but you can contact John directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] , and buy it straight from the fiddler, and then I make no money, so have no commercial interest, aside from keeping a great fiddler encouraged. Being a fiddler as well, I listen to these CDs intently.
