I just had word that Bert Murray, fiddler and composer from Aberdeen, died on Monday at age 90. He was an amazing, energetic, encouraging man and he will be sorely missed. Among his many compositions is the reel "Sean Maguire", known sometimes as "Magnetic" in Cape Breton. If anyone here has a way to pass the news on to the Cape Breton list or to folks there who might not have heard, I'd be grateful.

Thanks,

Jan Tappan
