“Flowers of Scottish Melody”, by JOHN MURDOCH HENDERSON (Glasgow 1935) fell outwith the scope of the original Index, but it contains some truly wonderful music of the tradition as well as some of the author’s own compositions. Henderson should be remembered as creator of the first index of fiddle music collections, which remained unpublished at his death in the 1970s, before IT made so many things possible
