J. Murdoch Henderson (31 March 1902 – November 1972[1]) was a Scottish fiddler, composer, and music critic.
[2] John Murdoch Henderson was born in New Deer, Scotland, and became a mathematics teacher in Aberdeen.
He published The Flowers of Scottish Melody in 1935, which contained 130 tunes, including 40 original contributions.
Later, he edited and published The Scottish Music Maker (1957), which preserved a number of melodies by James Scott Skinner that may otherwise have been lost (Alburger, 1983).
Dickie's son-in-law, James Duncan, was the founder of the Buchan Heritage Society, and was largely responsible for the republication of The Flowers of Scottish Melody.
