Judique Flyer

Buddy MacMaster, uncle and inspiration to fiddling sensation Natalie MacMaster, is the world's leading exponent of the Cape Breton fiddle style. This is his third recording and his first in 10 years. The Judique Flyer was a steam driven passenger train that replaced the old stagecoach line running between Inverness and Point Tupper on Cape Breton's west coast. In 1938, fiddler Buddy MacMaster boarded The Judique Flyer to return home from Troy after playing his first dance. From that time Buddy's reputation as a fiddler spread up and down the Judique line. In 1943, Buddy took a job as a telegrapher and travelling station agent with the Canadian National Railroad and for the next 40 years the railroad would nurture his reputation as a generous fiddler. Joining him on this recording are many of the accompanists he has played with throughout his sixty-year career as a master of the fiddler.
