A little story John Campbell related to his Ceilidh Trail students this past summer.. In 1935 John Campbell's father Dan J. Campbell, Angus Allan Gillis and Angus Chisholm traveled to Montreal to make the first recordings of Cape Breton fiddle music. Of course at that time, there was no way to correct recorded mistakes after the fact. Afterward, the three of them were discussing the recording session, and one of them commented that they probably had made some mistakes, and after a pause, Angus Chisholm replied, "Yeah, but there's not many that can find them." :-) There *was* a mistake on one set of two strathspeys and one reel - one of them didn't pick up quickly enough in changing from The Braes of Mar to the second strathspey. The record company paid them a whopping $100 + traveling expenses for the recording.
