Gloom on My Soul / Heavy is My Fate

I know this as a Cape Breton slow air. Tune is from the Simon Fraser Collection which Paul Cranford publishes (cranfordpub.com). Beautiful recording of this by Ian MacDougall with Mac Morin accompanying on piano found on Glenn Graham's Cape Breton FIddle Music, Making And Maintaining A Tradition. The CD accompanies the book of the same title. The book is a great resource for Cape Breton fiddlers.
