I was about 15 years old when Ashley MacIsaac had a fiddle tune in the top 10 popular music charts in Canada. He shot to fame with a previously unseen look in the roots music community - combat boots and sunglasses.  While his ride has been rocky at times, at heart he's a charismatic Cape Bretoner with lots of stories to tell and fiddle tunes to write. I also break out an original of my own, for the bagpipes, to get Ashley's opinion on it.
