accordionist "extraordinaire" James "Skip" Keane and Wally Cobb for their
musical prowess; to Al Pittman and Wilfred Wareham for their research and

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
