Gordie Sampson

Instead, he said, well, who do you want? I said, well, that's easy.

I want Dave McIsaac, Scott McMillan, and Gordy Sampson.

And he said, you got it.

We're going to do it.

To me, just a room with people in it to listen to some bullshit that I made up is a war enough for me.

You don't want a Grammy or nothing? Gordy Sampson got a Grammy.

He can keep it.

Yeah? No ego, eh?

Just

Wondering.

Gordy Sampson versus Jimmy Rankin.

Fight to the death.

We went to Jan Allen's final album, Glencoe Station, released in 1997.

We heard Seven the Woodfitter, a tune by Dan R. MacDonald with lyrics from Gordon Bach, with Gordy Sampson on guitar and Natalie McMaster on fiddle.

Before Jan Allen, we had Winston Scotty Fitzgerald and his radio entertainers, Northstar and Vittens, from his 78 released 70 or so years ago.

We'll keep it going with another fine Cape Breton fiddler, Johnny Wilmot, who had a long performing and recording career, and, unusually for fiddlers in the area, he was equally at home with both Irish and Scottish styles and material.

And we do appreciate you.

Be sure and tell all your friends about us.

And always remember, if you've got time to breathe, you've got time for music.

Bye-bye.
