$23.95

The Judique Flyer was a steam-driven passenger train that replaced the old stagecoach line running between Inverness and Point Tupper on Cape Breton ‘s west coast. In 1938, fiddler Buddy MacMaster boarded The Judique Flyer to return home from Troy after playing his first dance. From that time Buddy’s reputation as a fiddler spread up and down the Judique line. In 1943, Buddy took a job as a telegrapher and traveling station agent with the CNR, working in stations from Truto to Inverness. For the next forty years the railroad would nurture his reputation as a generous fiddler and today he is recognized as the world’s leading exponent of the Cape Breton fiddle style. Joining him on this recording are many of the accompanists he has played with throughout his sixty-year career as a master of the fiddle.
