Would someone know of a good site for French Canadian and Cape Breton tunes which may be printed off? I love tunes such as Louis' Waltz . Thanks for any help.
Try the Ottawa Cape Breton Session site. They have all their sets posted online for download (http://web.ripnet.com/%7Ebmacgi/), most of which are from the Cape Breton Fiddler's Associtation.
Also try Cranford Publications as RichardB suggests. Paul Cranford has published a series of tune books including collections from Jerry Holland, Brenda Stubbert, Winston 'Scotty' Fitzgerald, and of course, his own compositions.
Between these two, you will have enough to keep you going for a while!
But please remember - sheet music is just the bare bones of a tune. To really get an idea of how the tunes are played, get a recording. Lots of CDs for sale at Cranford Publications
I was having a look at some of the photos from the pub session at the Ottawa Cape Breton Session site. Holy mackerel that's some amount of music standage going on there !!

This is a wonderful resource: http://www.cranfordpub.com/
Lots of ABCs and some gifs of tunes. You have to explore a bit: http://www.cranfordpub.com/tunes/sample_tunes.htm
I also purchased from the site (a while ago) - must revisit as they've got some great things.
