Community Music: Weddings
Music was present in the many aspects of commuintylife.In religious ceremonies, espeically weddings and funerals, the
music held a special place. After the church services, family
and friends gathered to help celebrate or mourn. The fiddler shown
is Duncan M. MacDonald and the fiddler who played for the wedding
pictured below was Little Jack MacDonald in 1954 or 55.
