Cathy,
My husband took a college class last fall in music and the teacher had localmusicians talented in different music styles come on Sundays to concerts (that students had to attend). One bassist, who performed had travelled extensively to many different areas to practice and perform with other local type musicians, spoke of the area you talk about he also was buck-nut crazy over Cape Breton music and he and his wife performed numerous numbers of this type they also played Cuban style music that has influenced much of our music as well...wonder how much Gord was really influenced by Bahama music? As well as the regions mentioned previously?
