"Father Eugene's Welcome to Cape North" ~ another Mike MacDougall march
God bless the man and his music, Down North (Cape Breton) has never fully recovered from his loss. He was a damned hard worker, fisherman and the main man for the dances in his time. Just to keep the connection, here are his other tunes on site:

For another transcript of this tune I highly recommend ~
"Jerry Holland's Collection of Fiddle Tunes"

I so liked it I lent it and they so liked it I never got it back. It's a great collection and Jerry is a damned sweet fiddler...
