Video in original case, both of which are in excellent condition. Cape Breton Island's ambassador of the steps, Mary Janet MacDonald has been dancing and teaching her way all over North America and Scotland for years. She learned stepdancing at the age of four from her sister Minnie (Beaton) MacMaster. Her warm outgoing personality, love of dance and knowledge of the tradition have made her one of Cape Breton's favourite stepdancers and dance teachers. In "One Step at a Time", each step is broken down very slowly, then the fiddle music is added as it brings the step up to time. A total of seven strathspey steps and nine reel steps are demonstrated. The video is enhanced by the lovely scenery of Cape Breton and the fiddle music of Natalie McMasters. . Very Good. (more information)

Bill Matthiesen, 1992. Minimal cover wear. Pencil notations to one or two pgs only. Spine is tight; pgs are otherwise unmarked. REVIEW from Fiddler Magazine (Fall, 1996, Vol 3, #3) by Mary Larsen: The Waltz Book and The Waltz Book II are a couple of must-haves for the waltz lover. Book One (The Waltz Book) contains 52 waltzes, some traditional, and some from great fiddlers and composers such as Jay Ungar, Jerry Holland, Bob McQuillen, and Pete Sutherland. Many favorites are included: Midnight on the Water ... My Own Home ... Sheebeg & Sheemore ... Tombigbee Waltz ... Westphalia ... McQuillen's Amelia, and Ungar's Ashokan Farewell. Book One also includes a good article called Thoughts on Harmony by David Kaynor, and a very helpful section called Notes on Piano Accompaniment for Waltzes by Bill Matthiesen. Book II contains 74 waltzes, mostly less common than those in the first book, with a combination of modern and traditional tunes. This book contains several tunes that are more challenging, in their notes or their chords, but also contains plenty that will be accessible to even the beginning fiddler. Some of the composers represented in this volume include Kenny Baker, O'Carolan, Bob McQuillen, Jay Ungar, Johnny Cunningham, James Scott Skinner, Pete Sutherland, George Wilson, Molly Mason, and Varise Connor. No matter what your favorite styles are, you'll find plenty in these books to keep you amused for a long time. Styles include old-time, Scottish, Irish, Cajun, Scandinavian, New England, French, and more. What they have in common is 3/4 time and the fact that they're worth playing and dancing to. Another great thing about these books are the quotes from many of the tunesmiths on how the tunes were written, as well as their addresses, in case you want to tell them how much you enjoy a particular piece. In many cases, discography information is also included. Chords are given for all tunes in both books. If you enjoy waltzes, you'll be in waltz heaven with these books! . Spiral. Very Good Minus.
