[@barbarasalera1381]

when you are on the other side of the world for 35 years and you hear this...tears flow

[@danielshane5130]

These Cape Breton fiddlers are incredible. Scottish blood running through their veins plus the memory of Scotland will never die. Thanks to Scotland for the gift of the Scots to the new world.

[@DavidMVideos]

My grandpa passed away recently and he was from Nova Scotia, a second cousin to Buddy and a fellow fiddle player! We used the music from this video as background music to his memorial video. Thanks again for posting

[@Hyphenate001]

My mom and dad used to go see Buddy when he came to the Canadian American Club in Watertown, MA years ago, so a large part of me was introduced to him long time before I ever heard him! I think in high school, I wouldn't have appreciated him! It's just nice now to apppreciate him! Saw Natalie about a year ago--she's taking after Uncle Buddy!

[@hughmacdonald9568]

Buddy's mother and my paternal grandmother were sisters. Buddy and my dad are first cousins, and I have had the very special privilege of listening to his fiddle perfection and beauty for many years.

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

Thats canadian everybody. The best the world has seen

[@dextercat328]

Godspeed, Buddy. You may be gone, but your music will live forever. The angels will be dancing a reel tonight, while Cape Bretoners mourn.

[@picher19]

This video has been my Bible for the last 14 years. Thank you so much,Sam!

[@wadedunbar3207]

This is how earthly Angels help us achieve our gratitude for life and listening to their tune.

[@ka3kcj]

The world has lost one of the greatest fiddlers in the world. RIP Buddy.

[@Huguette17]

RIP, Buddy MacMaster, we have lost one of the greatest fiddlers in the world.

[@lynnhussey6597]

I was lucky to grow up with this music; I thank my Mom for that. I love Cape Breton fiddling.

[@johnmacdougall2268]

I listened to Buddy as a child and my father was a big fan. Beautiful music. Amazing 👏 John Archie Sylvester MacDougall

[@gatecam]

As long as this video remains on KZbin I will always come back to listen as I've done for many years. Buddy so reminds me of my grandda and my grandda also played the fiddle the same way Buddy does. My grandda was a wonderful man and I loved him dearly. Thank you Sam Rust for posting this video and thank you KZbin for keeping it on for all this time. Keep it on for always and Buddy will live on forever.

[@danielshane6487]

RIP Hugh Allen MacMaster!!!

[@roisinniloirgneain815]

I was at Sabhal Mor Ostaig in Skye when news of Buddy's death came in. In previous summers we'd been staying down the road from his home in Judique, we were in Long Point on Highway19...a long way from Clare, Galway & Roscommon! Anyway,it was very touching that our fiddle teacher, the wonderful Charlie McKerron from Capercaillie, dedicated our concert performance to Buddy's memory. The Iron Man, the Eagle's Whistle and the (mighty) Goat Island Ceili Band reel were part of our set. Brilliant teacher and lovely man, that Charlie! We played with pride for Buddy MacMaster RIP.

[@russfromdodge]

As a Cape Bretoner I am so thankful for Buddy MacMaster,a cornerstone of our culture!!

[@SuperAndystewart]

As a resident of Cape Breton for many years, Buddy has always inspired me from the first i heard him play at our school square dance, Judique Creignish High School. He will always inspire me as i am sure he will to all who listen to his great music. buddy your Number 1

[@789cman]

R.I.P. you will be missed Buddy!

[@kulinskit]

Rest in peace, Buddy. Thank you for sharing such a special gift of your tradition with the rest of the world...

[@jessierankin6218]

Buddy was a wonderful man, a great representative for Cape Breton music. Loved seeing him at the Canadian American Club with my dad MW.

[@ge009]

When my mom worked with Smithsonian Folkways before I was born, she hosted Buddy, his daughter Mary Elizabeth on piano, and Dave MacIsaac on guitar for the "Masters of the Folk Violin" show as part of their Folk Masters concert series in 1994. I grew up listening to the tapes of those shows, and I got hooked especially on Buddy and Cape Breton fiddling. Buddy was really one of the best.

[@TModel15]

Buddy McMasters' concert displaying his mastery of Scottish fiddling is superb! If Neil Gow could hear his rendition of of the Lament to his second wife, no doubt he would be pleased. Five stars for this wonderful post!

[@danielshane6487]

Paul Anderson of Scotland on KZbin plays Neil Gow's Lament for the Death of His Second Wife just a wee bit better than Buddy plays it. Listen to Paul's rendition on the London Fiddle Conference. Impressive!!!

[@cagedlemp5184]

This music is so beautiful. It's everything to me.

[@jerrysimon6938]

Seeing and hearing this gentle man in concert in Louisbourg nearly 8 years ago instantly made Buddy just about my favourite fiddler ever. He'll not be forgotten in a hurry.

[@richardmoore1836]

Wow I'm a kid again thanks buddy macmaster peace

[@drala108]

Buddy played this lament for me when I took his fiddle classes during a summer camp a few decades ago. I cried then as I do now.

[@RenaRoo123]

The home of my heart Cape Breton

[@MrDustyme]

Buddy Macmaster is the one who inspired me to start playing fiddle i just started this year i already play guitar and now fiddle i love fiddle music so much you dont even need the lyrics the storey is already there you just need to picture it in your head

[@DougHall65]

Grateful for all this man has given to music lovers from Cape Breton, Canada, and around the world. #RIPBuddy

[@thingsifindself-evident5854]

Such and talent, Thanks for the music Buddy.

[@avlewis]

RIP Buddy, you will be missed, but you and your music will live on in our hearts.

[@danielshane6487]

Victor Lewis Especially this absolute GEM of a performance!!!!!!!!! You're not with us anymore Sir, but you left this Massachusets crowd in complete awe as this performance still leaves me in AWE and tugs away at my heart strings. The Scots have most definitely our lives with their achievements. Thank goodness some of those forced to flee Inverness during the Highland Clearances, brought their fiddle talents with them and settle in the Maritimes.

[@rodmackinnon4044]

I was there. Long live the cape

[@declarkson]

Masterful, so glad it's been captured on video for all of us to enjoy!

[@MacArsenault]

Truly a great Scottish fiddle player.

[@James73890]

A true downhome gentleman and one of the greatest luninaries in Cape Breton's legacy to celtic music

[@mariasargent7742]

Soulfully beautiful! Thank you.

[@mactcampbell]

Excellent, Buddy. Perserve this one well Sam.

[@armandolarade7861]

One word...Legend

[@paulinefiddle]

RIP, Buddy MacMaster. Thanks for leaving us a legacy of such great Cape Breton style fiddling.

[@armandolarade7861]

Pauline Lerner One of the all time greats, loved listening to him on Scottish Strings on CJFX Antigonish with my dad...

[@grdonner]

May God bless you Buddy MacMaster, this is so beautiful.

[@bonniekramer613]

Awesome music:-) Brings me back home to Cape Breton!

[@WhiteboardDave]

I can't tell you how many times I've come back to listen to this. Niel Gow's Lament could sell an album all by itself. Thank you for posting it.

[@paulinefiddle]

RIP. Thanking you for sharing your musical gifts with us and leaving us a great legacy. You will be missed.

[@DaisySage]

Feeling close to home and family, hearing Buddy play this tune, lets me be there. Ceart ma tha. Tilleadh mi dhachaidh, le m' Athair 's mo Mhàthair.y

[@jennybbuzzed5628]

rest in peace buddy .

[@duduche7449]

i can feel the scottish soul in this tune.

[@keegandurovich9820]

His spirit will live on with us forever. Thank you Buddy

[@caper632]

One of the finest people I have ever known......he was a gentleman and a sweetheart...oh yes and very talented too!

[@johninamiddleton5838]

I heard him and the Cape Breton Fiddlers at Shelburn many times with Bobby brown wonderful.

[@julmart23]

Getting a bit teary eyed, searching for songs that remind me of home and this is it

[@CaptEirikr]

So, I've listened to a bunch of versions of Neil Gow's Lament, and have to say that Buddy set standard. This performance is why I started learning fiddle, and I hope that one day I can play this even half as well. Edit: 4 years later, still my favorite version. Someone else also called out the setlist: 1)Niel Gow's Lament for the Death of his Second Wife 2)The Laddie with the Plaidie 3)Mrs. Gordon Fochaber's 4)Atholl Brose 5)Lady Muir MacKenzie 6)Jenny Dang the Weaver 7)Sir David Davidson of Cantray 8)Southern Melodies (two part polka)

[@petermacdonald4285]

Really pure rendition of Neil Gow's Lament - without the superfluous trills that many players inject- just the few triplets and grace notes. Anybody know the names of the other tunes in the set?

[@hamrzlawnlake]

We know his tunes well up here(Thunder Bay, Ontario) Tons of fiddlers here. Tx 4 the post.
