  • Dwayne Cote, Fiddler, at the Red Shoe in Mabou, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

    We arrived in Nova Scotia on Aug. 21. Buddy MacIsaac had just died on Aug. 20 (a famous fiddler known throughout the world, niece is Natalie MacMaster) So, we were at a B & B in Mabou area, and were told of the Red Shoe pub closeby. We went over one night, saw a woman playing guitar & singing folk type songs. Went the next day at 3 PM so as to get in to find a seat, as the Monday nights are when wellknown musicians come. We did, just, get a table & 3 chairs, practically out the front door! And the music didn't start for a long while! So, here's a bit of sharing for you all, Dwayne Cote. He's slightly older now, wears a pork pie cap on his head, still closes his eyes while fiddling. Really good, & he brought in a younger guy from Scotland who played fiddle, with his mom playing piano. So, here's a video of Dwayne playing at the Red Shoe Pub...not when I & family were there!
