"Sandy MacIntyres Trip to Boston," "Highway Reel," "Panel Mine Jig," "Glenora Reel," and "Father Francis Cameron," are a few of Johns tunes which are now played throughout the world, often by players who do not know their author, but who think of them as gems from the heart of the rich Cape Breton tradition.
