I was thinking about my first exposure to button accordion and I realized it must have been as a kid of 10 or 12 watching the late Harry Hibbs and his TV show At the Caribou. I checked out the YouTube machine to see if there was any footage of Mr. Hibbs from those days, and sure enough, there’s a whole show! This is from 1972.
At the Caribou was an Ontario television show – I think it was out of CHCH in Hamilton, and it was aimed directly at Newfoundlanders who found themselves working in Ontario.
For people of my generation growing up in Toronto, this is a real blast from the past.
