  1. If your #Monday has your down, and you need a mood elevator…then ten minutes of Canada’s Beaton Sisters fiddle fineness will surely do the trick. Starts slow but progresses into a rousing medley that will stir your soul and get your feet tapping. Guaranteed to lift spirits and provide a welcome surge of energy & motivation. What’s not to love? Enjoy…

  2. St. Andrews Codroy Valley CDA5 → McCurdy Sydney CYQY

    I’ve left Newfoundland behind and crossed the Laurentian Channel on my way to Nova Scotia. For this leg, I swapped the Daher TBM 930 for a Beechcraft King Air 350i.

  3. Storm’s blowing in, so I’m sitting inside listening to Cape Breton fiddle to perk up a Friday afternoon. The Beaton Family, Rachel Davis, Natalie McMaster, the MacGillivray’s, Chrissy Crowley - there are so many awesome fiddlers preserving #NovaScotia and #CapeBretonIsland musical traditions. The recently concluded #CelticColours festival across the Island is the greatest #Celtic music festival in N. America imo. Here’s a sample of the Beaton Sisters performing at the Celtic Colours afterparty at St. Anne’s Gaelic College (the only one in N. America). #music #Fiddle #FolkMusic #Canada youtu.be/xCSk5waVkxI?si=HJHGpg

  4. 🧵4/ final - Finishing off the #MusicVideo thread for a Friday evening, and continuing the #CelticMusic theme, here are Cape Breton Island’s Beaton Sisters playing on the stage of the #CelticColours music festival. This is one of my favorite pieces ever. It starts slow, but if it doesn’t get your feet tapping by the end… you don’t have a pulse or you’re stone deaf. #Music #Fiddle #CapeBreton #CapeBretonIsland #CanadianMusic #CanadianMade youtu.be/xCSk5waVkxI?si=Cj17Dv

  6. “If I find myself in need of a little more, I just take some out of the jar we keep in chambers for folks to toss a loonie into whenever they take the Lord's name in vain. That frigger's always overflowing”.

  7. When I was in high school I worked at Ralph’s Dairy after school a couple days a week and on some weekends.

    It was a small convenience store in Whycocomagh and a great place to work. Cathy was a great person to work for.

    Cathy and her husband died in a car collision and the store closed afterwards, and sat empty until it was torn down for a small park.

    This plaque and small garden is in their memory.

  9. @etherdiver Oh, I stepped away without mentioning that the fellow and his hotmail were at the link…! But you seem to have found it alright. Only sorry your email was bounced. Good luck with your sleuthing. Someone on Cape Breton Island should know! #capebreton #capebretonisland

  10. Two great groups jam at #CelticColours my favorite #CelticMusic festival held annually on Nova Scotia’s beautiful #CapeBretonIsland - best venues, best music, best locals, best drives and a great after show bash at the Gaelic College nightly. All the greats have played there, but the locals often steal the show. The Rankin Family, the Beaton Sisters, the McGillivrays, the MacIssacs, the Barra-McNeils, the list of local notables goes on-and-on. youtube.com/watch?v=7npkGfFhO3 #music #FolkMusic #irishmusic #ScottishMusic #Fiddle

    Facing West - Three cozy cottages with private sandy beach located on 6 acres on beautiful Boularderie Island, Cape Breton. Commanding view of the Bras d'Or Lakes and Kelly's Mountain.

    Information:
    The Bras d’Or Lake has an area of approximately 1,099 square kilometres with a max. length of 100km and a width of 50km in the centre of Cape Breton Island. The first European settlers in this region were French naming the lake Bras d’Or meaning “arm of gold”. The Bras d’Or Lake is a half sweet and a half salt water Lake. Boularderie Island is in the northeast of the Bras d’Or Lake. The spiritual capital of the Mi’kmaq nation is the gathering place of the Mi’kmaq Grand Council, Mniku or Chapel Island in the Bras d’Or Lake of Cape Breton Island.
