Thanks for making them alive and teaching them to others. Without you breaking up the tune, I would'nt have been able to learn the little boy's reel.

Several of us were introduced to the music of Erskine Morris--indeed, his very existence--during our recent attendance at Camp Violon Trad, where André Brunet taught a reel from M. Morris's repertoire. During the long ride home, one of us found your Web site and so we learned a bit about his life and tunes. We look forward to continuing our studies in this direction.

We have a private blog (password access) for the use of our group. Among other things, the site contains lists of resources for those interested in learning more about Quebecois fiddlers and the traditional fiddle repertoire, etc. As the primary author of our site, I would like to add a link to your Erskine Morris site because I know our members will be interested in him, his history and his tunes. May I do that? I will check back here for a reply, as I couldn't find any way to email you directly.
