	"The fiddling is superb, as we have often experienced from Bow Triplets, but I love the drums. Its not the drums are original or different, but its what storms this "fiddle fever" tune along. I love the clever little modulation towards the end." John Willmott, editor Celtic Ways. The original arrangement is by Jay Ungar and the band "Fiddle Fever," copyright 1984 by Swinging Door Music (BMI) The original recording is still available on "The Best of Fiddle Fever", Flying Fish Records.
