I just wanted to let you know that we appreciated you coming to Dallas. You thoroughly impressed me when we started dancing in the middle of one of your songs. Not only did you extend it for us, you fixed it when one of the girls started in the middle of a phrase. Good job! I can't wait to see the next cd.

I just love traditional celtic music and have played violin for a couple of years now. I tried picking up the scottish style but find it difficult. Maybe after hearing your new CD, Ill have renewed interest in trying again! Thanks for making great music for the northwest!

I too have been a life long musician. If you have a moment our website is www.highway20band.com Not sure how we're related but I would guess that we are. Best wishes, Gene McKasson

It is great to finally hear your CD. It is outstanding. It is my favorite of all my celtic CDs. You two make an awesome pair. Of course I already knew that from the times I have heard you play at your house but the cd is awesome. Now I won't have to bug you to play as much when I come to your house.(not that I won't anyway;)

Yo Ryan...finally found your proper web site, took my beginner skills quite a while. So yes, please, as time permits, send me some sets of Scottish sheet music for study. I took another look at my friend's Dan R. MacDonald collection from Heather on the Hills, and it's extensive, perhaps 100 tunes or more, Hooray! He will loan it to me next week. And I will buy your cd, and any others I can find. Also, I remember Alisdair Fraser gave 3 or 4 names of young Scottish accordion players to look for but I can't find that small list right off, got it from him at the Winter School for pipers at Fort Worden last Feb. If you know these boyo's let me know where to locate their stuff. Thanks!
