Yes indeed. I remember reading a review of the Springthyme Records issue of Tam Hughes, Border Fiddler. The reviewer ended up a glowing review with something like "we can only hope that they will now turn their attention to Robert Hopkirk". This was in the 1980s, and it's such a shame that a similar album wasn't recorded. However, "Border Fiddles" is a good enough testament. -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/ Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
