Editor:
In the summer of 2009, our community will be celebrating the 100th birthday of Don Messer, born at Tweedside, on the outskirts of Harvey Station, N.B.
Many Canadians feel they know this man. For many years they listened to him on the radio, watched him on the television or attended live performances.
But there is more to Don Messer than the one-dimensional man portrayed on the show. A musician of renown, he was also a great supporter of Canadian musicians and talent. He had a family, was a savvy businessman and an innovator.
I am looking for stories about Don Messer, personal anecdotes that speak to the nature of the man and the era. They can be entire stories, or simply a memory of a single event or conversation. I am looking for stories from people who went to barn-and house-raisings where fiddling went on into the early morning hours, stories from people who liked the Don Messer show, or who thought it was corny, and from people who lived through the Depression and know $1.85 went a long way.
