Alexander Forbes "Sandy" Skinner (1833–1883) was the brother of the famous fiddler-composer and dancing master [[wikipedia:James_Scott_Skinner]] (1843-1927), who taught his younger sibling to 'second' on the fiddle and to play backup on the cello. The elder Skinner was a champion dancer and fiddler in his own right. It was Sandy who arranged for James to audition with Dr. Marks Little Men, a touring group composed of very talented boys with whom Skinner signed on for a six-year apprenticeship [http://www.abdn.ac.uk/scottskinner/biography.shtml].
