Sleeve Note (uncredited): "The walking cane fiddle is a unique and rare instrument. It was brought from Ireland to Canada by immigrants to the Antigonish, N.S. area in the mid nineteenth century~ Cye Steele heard of its existence about twenty years ago and finally traced it to New Glasgow where he added it to his collection.~It is still in playable condition and repeats its original use- It is a walking cane, and when the occasion arises and music is the order of the day, the back is taken off and the cane becomes a fiddle~ The fiddler always has a bow at hand~"Songs A4, A5, A6, B4, B5, B6 originally recorded in 1964 for radio program Atlantic Exchange by The Truro All Stars
