This lament was written by James Scott Skinner for Major General Sir Hector Archibald MacDonald, KCB, DSO (4 March 1853 - 25 March 1903) born at Rootfield, near Dingwall, in later life he was also know in gaelic as Eachann nan Cath ('Hector of the Battles', Fighting Mac) The son of a crofter and stonemason he was promoted through the ranks of the British Army on merit alone, he was disliked by the ruling classess as he not born a gentleman. There was rumours circulated about Sir Hector forcing him to end his life, by shooting himself in a Paris hotel on 25/03/1903. RIP Sir Hector

There is a myth that someday he will miss a note, and this will mark the end of the world. This is silly superstition, of course. Jerry Douglas is never going to miss a note.

Maybe your gran's fiddle somehow ended up in my shop and I refurbished it for a young person to play. It's what I do to those wonderful old fiddles. And BTW, it's never too old to start playing. I'm in mid-60s and after 2 years of fiddle lessons, I'm playing in jam sessions and open mic events. It's great fun playing with other musicians. Always learning.

Yeah, from the East side it was Aly and John. From over here it was Jerry Douglas and Pat McGrath. Pat was touring with Maura O'Connell in and around that time. Pat, Pat Flynn, Jerry Douglas, Altan, Bela Fleck and a dozen other players were being cross pollinated a ton. The Yank players were being exposed to trad B.I. sessions while the Celt players were playing alot of bluegrass and acoustic country/blues in jams around Nashville. Being around it was really an exciting time, musically for me. The live version of Aly and John doing HTH on a collection of songs from the Green Linnet samplers is my favorite. It's where I also discovered Music For A Found Harmonium wasn't just backdrop for a car commercial. lol

@DawnMelodyMusic A Dobro is essentially a six-string guitar with a metal, usually aluminum soundboard, imbedded within the spruce wood top. It provides a resonating 'twang' sound and projects the string vibration from the body through vents cut in the aluminum. The strings are usually set high off of the fretboard so a slide can be used. Gibson Guitars owns the trademark.
