They all enjoy playing their music together, and especially when their old time tunes and songs bring smiles and tapping toes. The band does 70 to 80 playouts a year. The members are Ron Kushniruk, Jim Dow, Terry Receveur, Alice Friend, Beth Bressette, Bud Burbee, Bruce Gibson, Gord Dorish, Al Cardinal, Garth Laferdy, Ken Maddox, Marlene Bernier, Marino Bekolay and John Saharchuk.
