To commemorate the 35thAnniversaryof the Nova Scotia Branch of the RSCDS in 2017 and honour the Nova Scotian dancers, past and present, the Branch have published a CD and companion booklet of dances, all either devised by local dancers or written in honour of them.There are 18 tracks on the CD from Keith Smith and Muriel Johnstone. All tunes except two (Ian & Carol Aitken of MacGregor by Cas Sloan and Mrs Ethel Mary Moss by James C Aulenbach) are either traditional or by Muriel or Keith themselves. In the acknowledgements, Muriel and Keith are thanked “for their awesome arrangements and performance” and that certainly sums up this superb CD!
