Alex Francis MacKay ~ fiddle
Gordon MacLean ~ piano
"Alex Francis began playing the fiddle at an early age and because the MacKay family home was a regular stopping point for musicians he met and learnt from many of Cape Breton's finest players. Of the visiting musicians, those who made the most lasting impressions on Alex Francis were fiddler-composers Dan R. MacDonald (Alex's first cousin), Dan Hughie MacEachern and Gordon MacQuarrie." ~ Paul Cranford http://www.cranfordpub.com/ http://www.cranfordpub.com/recordings/MacKay_AlexF.htm
" ~ if you have an appreciation of authentic traditional music and the required ability to "Stick with it" you will gain reward and much enjoyment from the real "Old Word" feel of "A Lifelong Home"."
