Our condolences to the McIsaac family on the passing of a fine gentleman. I played along James quite a few times over the years and it was obvious that he loved the fiddle. Memories of the folk festival in the Valley and St. Kevin's center in St. Andrews come to mind. One note about James is that he was always prepared and very resourceful. Back in the 1990's, James along with Wayne and my brother Joe played at the folk festival in Terra Nova National Park. I joined them on these occasions and we had a great time. About being prepared. James was setting up his tent in the campground when I saw him bring out two wooden frames. He put them together, put them in the tent, laid a piece of plywood board inside the frame and presto, a camp bed. James was camping but sleeping in comfort. Rest in peace James.
