Buddy's mother and my paternal grandmother were sisters. Buddy and my dad are first cousins, and I have had the very special privilege of listening to his fiddle perfection and beauty for many years.
My mom and dad used to go see Buddy when he came to the Canadian American Club in Watertown, MA years ago, so a large part of me was introduced to him long time before I ever heard him!
I think in high school, I wouldn't have appreciated him! It's just nice now to apppreciate him!
Saw Natalie about a year ago--she's taking after Uncle Buddy!
RIP, Buddy MacMaster, we have lost one of the greatest fiddlers in the world.
As a resident of Cape Breton for many years, Buddy has always inspired me from the first i heard him play at our school square dance, Judique Creignish High School. He will always inspire me as i am sure he will to all who listen to his great music. buddy your Number 1
The world has lost one of the greatest fiddlers in the world. RIP Buddy.
R.I.P. you will be missed Buddy!
Godspeed, Buddy. You may be gone, but your music will live forever. The angels will be dancing a reel tonight, while Cape Bretoners mourn.
This video has been my Bible for the last 14 years.
Thank you so much,Sam!
The home of my heart Cape Breton
Still so beautiful, thanks for this recording! ❤
As a Cape Bretoner I am so thankful for Buddy MacMaster,a cornerstone of our culture!!
Rest in peace, Buddy. Thank you for sharing such a special gift of your tradition with the rest of the world...
I listened to Buddy as a child and my father was a big fan. Beautiful music. Amazing 👏
John Archie Sylvester MacDougall
Buddy was a wonderful man, a great representative for Cape Breton music. Loved seeing him at the Canadian American Club with my dad MW.
This music is so beautiful. It's everything to me.
Seeing and hearing this gentle man in concert in Louisbourg nearly 8 years ago instantly made Buddy just about my favourite fiddler ever. He'll not be forgotten in a hurry.
This is how earthly Angels help us achieve our gratitude for life and listening to their tune.
Thats canadian everybody. The best the world has seen
Truly a great Scottish fiddle player.
Buddy Macmaster is the one who inspired me to start playing fiddle i just started this year i already play guitar and now fiddle i love fiddle music so much you dont even need the lyrics the storey is already there you just need to picture it in your head
I was at Sabhal Mor Ostaig in Skye when news of Buddy's death came in. In previous summers we'd been staying down the road from his home in Judique, we were in Long Point on Highway19...a long way from Clare, Galway & Roscommon! Anyway,it was very touching that our fiddle teacher, the wonderful Charlie McKerron from Capercaillie, dedicated our concert performance to Buddy's memory. The Iron Man, the Eagle's Whistle and the (mighty) Goat Island Ceili Band reel were part of our set. Brilliant teacher and lovely man, that Charlie! We played with pride for Buddy MacMaster RIP.
RIP. Thanking you for sharing your musical gifts with us and leaving us a great legacy. You will be missed.
Soulfully beautiful! Thank you.
As long as this video remains on TH-cam I will always come back to listen as I've done for many years. Buddy so reminds me of my grandda and my grandda also played the fiddle the same way Buddy does. My grandda was a wonderful man and I loved him dearly.
Thank you Sam Rust for posting this video and thank you TH-cam for keeping it on for all this time. Keep it on for always and Buddy will live on forever.
RIP Hugh Allen MacMaster!!!
Wow I'm a kid again thanks buddy macmaster peace
The world has lost nothing , Buddy prays for those who fiddle, from heaven.
RIP Buddy, you will be missed, but you and your music will live on in our hearts.
Victor Lewis Especially this absolute GEM of a performance!!!!!!!!! You're not with us anymore Sir, but you left this Massachusets crowd in complete awe as this performance still leaves me in AWE and tugs away at my heart strings. The Scots have most definitely our lives with their achievements. Thank goodness some of those forced to flee Inverness during the Highland Clearances, brought their fiddle talents with them and settle in the Maritimes.
I was there. Long live the cape
I was lucky to grow up with this music; I thank my Mom for that. I love Cape Breton fiddling.
May God bless you Buddy MacMaster, this is so beautiful.
A true downhome gentleman and one of the greatest luninaries in Cape Breton's legacy to celtic music
My grandpa passed away recently and he was from Nova Scotia, a second cousin to Buddy and a fellow fiddle player! We used the music from this video as background music to his memorial video. Thanks again for posting
When my mom worked with Smithsonian Folkways before I was born, she hosted Buddy, his daughter Mary Elizabeth on piano, and Dave MacIsaac on guitar for the "Masters of the Folk Violin" show as part of their Folk Masters concert series in 1994. I grew up listening to the tapes of those shows, and I got hooked especially on Buddy and Cape Breton fiddling. Buddy was really one of the best.
Masterful, so glad it's been captured on video for all of us to enjoy!
i can feel the scottish soul in this tune.
Awesome music:-) Brings me back home to Cape Breton!
His spirit will live on with us forever. Thank you Buddy
Such and talent, Thanks for the music Buddy.
Feeling close to home and family, hearing Buddy play this tune, lets me be there. Ceart ma tha. Tilleadh mi dhachaidh, le m' Athair 's mo Mhàthair.y
Getting a bit teary eyed, searching for songs that remind me of home and this is it
I heard him and the Cape Breton Fiddlers at Shelburn many times with Bobby brown wonderful.
One of the finest people I have ever known......he was a gentleman and a sweetheart...oh yes and very talented too!
Excellent, Buddy.
Perserve this one well Sam.
Buddy McMasters' concert displaying his mastery of Scottish fiddling is superb! If Neil Gow could hear his rendition of of the Lament to his second wife, no doubt he would be pleased. Five stars for this wonderful post!
Paul Anderson of Scotland on TH-cam plays Neil Gow's Lament for the Death of His Second Wife just a wee bit better than Buddy plays it. Listen to Paul's rendition on the London Fiddle Conference. Impressive!!!
Buddy played this lament for me when I took his fiddle classes during a summer camp a few decades ago. I cried then as I do now.
One word...Legend
RIP, Buddy MacMaster. Thanks for leaving us a legacy of such great Cape Breton style fiddling.
Pauline Lerner One of the all time greats, loved listening to him on Scottish Strings on CJFX Antigonish with my dad...
rest in peace buddy .
Cape breton is home some of the finest fiddling on the planet!
Wow! Breathtakingly good.
He's a master. Very nice music.
His fiddling goes straight to your heart!
So, I've listened to a bunch of versions of Neil Gow's Lament, and have to say that Buddy set standard. This performance is why I started learning fiddle, and I hope that one day I can play this even half as well.
Edit: 4 years later, still my favorite version.
