Liner notes
The Ukraine. Birthplace of my parents. Home to my relatives: uncles, aunts, and grandmother (Babushka). This is my heritage.
I learned to play Ukrainian tunes as a child in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Weddings and dances were the social life for a Ukrainian; tunes and the instruments made up an important part of my function. Listening to them, I am sure you will all feel the sense of excitement and activity that is so characteristic of a Ukrainian function.
I hope you will also enjoy some of the traditional French-Canadian numbers which I have included.
As you are aware, I have been a “regular” on the CBC Tommy Hunter Show. Many of the selections on this album have been played at one time or another on the show and I hope some of your favorites are here.
Al Cherny
