Kinnon and Betty Lou Beaton Perform Jig Set at Chestico Museum

One of the greats of Cape Breton fiddle, at one of my favourite venues.
A southpaw, note the distinctive style. He rolls the fiddle, making the strings meet the bow.

Chestico Museum is an old school house in Harbourview Cape Breton, a hair south of Port Hood. The staff is very helpful in genealogy pursuits. I like the venue because you get the fiddle “unplugged”. That microphone isn’t really doing anything, other than getting in my shot. If you’re on Route 19 (Canada’s Musical Coast), be sure to check out the Thursday Ceilidhs.

Tune names anyone…?
