[@plainrainman]

Great job as always Colyn! Your passion and precision shows through. This is one of the better recordings I've listened to, but nothing compares to hearing him live. His violin also has a rich tone that Colyn really knows how shape into some of the most enjoyable music I've listened too.

Go Colin!!! From a gentle Jinker☺️

Interesting, hard-driving style - basically Doric, but with a touch of Cape Breton. Love the percussive use of off-the-string bowing - I'm working on something similar so I know how hard this is to pull off. Hanneke Cassel is another fiddler that does this well. Something to aspire to...

@jeffneil86 I've added links in the video description (above) to the CD that has this J.Scott Skinner set. Colyn performed it in concert with the Peninsula Scottish Fiddlers. I've also added a link to Colyn and Shauna's (Peat-Fire Flame) website where you can find a 'store' with their music.

It's Miss Lyall's Strathspey - watch the spelling

[@DoctorFiddle]

You must be very old to have discussed the matter with Mr. Skinner. His writings on fiddling are sparse vague at best and his recordings are very much determined by the "phono-fiddle" that he had to play in order to accommodate the recording technology. Overall, your commentary is quite off-the-mark.

[@wiishzy8104]

mr fish is only in is 40's haha...... he works at a middle school in a small town, currently.

[@laurynmiscool]

He is awesome!!
