Boomerang  ~  The strength of the Scottish tradition can be found in the hands of those who pass it on. While some artists may take this tradition in new directions and others may remain close to their origins, all will find meaning by returning to the source, like the boomerang returns to the hand...

It seemed fitting that the great Dan R. MacDonald jig, Boomerang, be the title of this recording. I chose to remain close to my origins on my second release and make a traditional recording. I hope all who listen will find the comfort and meaning I experience in this music.

This CD is dedicated to those who travel to bring the traditional Scotch music to new parts and to those who leave home to work. They eventually return home to their roots because love of family, tradition, and music bring them home.
- Troy MacGillivray (May, 2003)
