In case anyone's interested, here's how I decided to pursue this:
I found out I really like some Irish Airs, too. Hence "the Potato Famine SOng" I kept quoting. So, I'm going to do some transcriptions of these when time allows (summer project, I guess)
Also, I found out about the music of Buddy Macmasters (Cape Breton Island fiddler) - he does exactly the kind of stuff I like listening to, some there's some more transcription I will do (there's a lament I want to start with)
As posted in another thread, that Rabbath solo "Breeze" will soon be on my reperoire list.
Any other recommendations or thoughts are appreciated.
