Speakers:

FR – Fred Richard

FR: If you went to a meeting of politics. I'd play maybe a couple of tunes there and you'd get the old politicians, or the strong Liberals or the strong Conservatives would be gettin' up and givin' a step, and everybody would be just hoopin'.

KP: Where did this happen?

FR: Usually at community halls, school houses and community halls. And to make it lively, they would get up and give a back step, and the “Hoorahs,” etcetera B Very lively!

KP: So they brought you in to play for both the Liberals and the Conservatives?

FR: Yes! (laughs)

KP: So you were very generous!

FR: Yes. Yup.
