Mishra’s Dream

Donald MacLennan grew up in Chimney Corner, Inverness County, a tiny place where it's still cool for kids to take up the fiddle. He played Scottish tunes from the age of 12, but at 18, around the time he headed to St. F.X., Donald got bored with the old diddly-diddly, and set aside his violin. A couple of years later, Donald was hanging out at home when he some strange guitar riffs wafted in from the front deck. Mike Dalton and another friend were outide jamming. "What's that you're playing?" asked Donald.
