The great Metís fiddler John Arcand gave us the first tune in this set, The Grey Owl, a big favorite in Saskatoon where John lives. Next is The Girl I Left Behind a la Walter Flett from Manitoba. Flett, a very traditional and powerful player, was the father-in-law of Teddy Boy Houle, occasional visitor and performer at the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, Washington. The third piece is The Old Reel Of Eight, from Gilbert Anderson, one of Big John’s big influences.<br />
