Hey Mac... If there is by any chance you remember a girl who came up to CBIsland this summer and hung out at The Red Shoe a lot and talked to you a fair bit and her name was Anne, or Anne Marie (she goes by both), well then... I'm her best friend, Annie. We both play fiddle and piano a bit, and she was going to take some step dancing instruction from you, and I was just wondering if you could get back to me when a good time would be to come up and do that! I'm interested in coming with her and considering my dacing experince is small, how long it would take to learn a fair bit! A HUGE request, I know, and from the looks of it, you have a pretty demanding schedule, but if in your "spare time" you could drop me a note, I'm sure Anne would love to come back and visit all the lovely folks she met and I would love to come to visit your fine island as well! Chow! - Annie J

Mac! You probably won't remember me but we once shared the same floor at Macpherson House (Home of the Mustangs!). I roomed down the hall with Jamie "bam-bam" Cooper. Anyway, after that year we always missed you but I've seen you a couple times on TV with Natalie Macmaster and I'm pleased to discover you've continued to bring great music to the world! I have recently moved from Vancouver, BC to Moncton and hope to see you perform one of these days. Take care and God bless you..... Brook

Hey Mac! I almost got to see you this summer in Baddeck but I was 2 days early. Spent time in NFLD this summer instead of Cape Breton. I left a note with the person at the Masonic Hall in Baddeck. Didja get it? Please give Ian my love and tell him Andi and I are still playing fiddle. She's hoping to see him again some day in action. Maybe we can do that next summer and follow you guys around the island again. Still got my tee shirt? Anne

Hi, I play old tyme fiddle music and step dance and I just started to learn chording. I had never heard of you before until yesterday when I was looking on Troy MacGillivray's website and I randonmly clicked on one of the names on it and it was yours. I listened to one of the tracks on your cd(#1) and I love it so much! I really love piano chording the Cape Breton way if that's what it's called! I take lessons from Chrissy Leahy and I can't wait until I can play it as good as you! But that'll take a while! I think it's so neat when you play the melody in the right hand and then whatever you call it in the left. It's so confusing I find the different patterns/rhythm things you do. How do you know what chords to go to and the different patterns and stuff? It's so cool! I've heard people chord for old time fidle music and the way you do it is so much better and more interesting. I really want to see one of your shows. You have so many shows this year! My family and I have a band"Everything Fitz" and we're just sort of starting to do a lot of shows. We're touring next year in Saskatchewan and Alberta ad we're going to Branson Missouri I think next year and some other places in the states. I really want to perform when I grow up. I really enjoy listening to such great music. I hope to see you performing soon, haha maybe in Bancroft!! That would be so cool! good luck with your performing!

I was at the home concert, at Bedford House Café. I just checked your schedule. You are very busy and will be in NS mainly, this summer, so people can go and see you there. My friend and I enjoyed the evening very much. It is quite "sympathique" to assist at a private concert. Have a good summer and whenever you want to learn French, there are plenty of people in your area who can teach you!!! What was the brand name of the piano you were playing on, at Debbie's house? There must be a way to announce it if you are looking for a piano of that name. Un bel été à toi et à tous les musiciens avec qui tu joues.

Hey Mac - I was on vacation with my family in early August and heard you playing at the ceilidh with Natalie and Andrea in Mabou - it was very inspiring. I am a jazz pianist so I have some appreciation musically of what the three of you were doing. It was great playing and obviously one does not get the chance to hear that kind of music very often if one does not live on the island! At any rate I bought your CD at the ceilidh and it's fantastic - you can tell that you're a dancer because of the rhythmic drive of your playing. Best of luck and I hope to see you perform again whenever I make it up to the island.

Mac, I gave your CD to my husband yesterday for a Christmas present. He said "This is the best CD I have ever heard." Nothing more to say! It is fantastic start to finish. We still hope that you will consider making a trip to the US and let us present you as a part of our concert series here in Deerfield. Folks would love you down here!

Hey, Mac! Sorry I'm so slow in leaving you a message! Love the CD. Hard to pick a fave--normally I'd go with the slow air (B flat) 'cuz it's beautiful, but I'm a sucker for the lively E tunes straight up! Wicked march by Ian, by the way! Catch you later. Don't know if I'll make it to the CD release. Have a blast!

The entire cd is FABULOUS, but I am in love with the B Flat Air and am on a quest to find the sheet music for myself. Mac, I had the opportunity to see you play several times while I was in Cape Breton on holiday earlier this month and must say that you have turned me on to Cape Breton style piano accompaniment. Your cd is of some consolation that I could not have spent more time there listening to you live, but I do hope that you will make it out west again soon. Please consider adding a link with info about upcoming shows to your site to keep those fans from away informed. =)
