JAMES BARRY'S COMPLIMENTS TO HUGH MACKENZIE. Canadian, Reel (cut time). Canada, Nova Scotia. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "James Barry's Compliments to Hugh MacKenzie" was composed by dairy farmer, miller, sometime printer and bookbinder, and fiddler James Barry (1819-1906) of Six Mile Brook, Pictou County, northern Nova Scotia. Hugh Mackenzie was a fiddler from Westville, Pictou County, about six miles distant from Barry's home. From the title it is obvious Barry admired MacKenzie's skill with the instrument, though he could be scornful of lesser fiddlers (as revealed in his extensive diary of 56 years).
