Our thanks to Allister MacGillivray, dear friend and musical collaborator; to accordionist "extraordinaire" James "Skip" Keane and Wally Cobb for their musical prowess; to Al Pittman and Wilfred Wareham for their research and friendship; to our featured guests without whom the shows would not have been what they were and to the people of the communities, villages and towns of Atlantic Canada for opening their doors and making us so welcome; to Patricia Fulton at MUN Folklore Archives for her time and patience; to Barbara Brown, CBC Toronto, for her advice and support; to Jack Kellum and the many people from CBC St. John's, on the road and in the studio, who made the shows a reality; and especially to our wives and families for their understanding, encouragement, and support, which we still enjoy today.
