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

support, which we still enjoy today.
