this week, we're on cape breton island in nova scotia. to the 18th century, when the community first set up here. and, as we'll find out, some of their traditions are still alive today. these tunes are 200, 300, 400 years old. and they've survived. and we play them probably more here today than they do in scotland. it's the way we work. it's how we live. i grew up listening to music, playing music, dancing to music. and then i married into an extremely musical family. so it's just a part of every day. the ceilidh is basically a gathering of friends, family and whatnot, musicians, guitar, piano. and as well as some step dancing. i like the dancers. nova scotia is a latin word for new scotland. so the people that came here brought their culture, their language, their dance, their music, anything that was associated with the gaelic culture. speaks in gaelic. that means, "a dry lake won't do the fishing". it means you can't do anything without getting wet. if you're going to do something, you have to get involved in it. this is my farm. i hav
