Blog Entry: Some chat about myself Born in nova scotia Canada Febuary 26 1941 I started on the road to a lifelong ambition of being a musician at the tender age of five years old, When my mother used to put a chair in front of our old RCA Victor Orthophonic record player and I would clime up on the chair lift the big old top, play and listen to the old 78’s ( Hank Snow, Wilf Carter, Gene Autry ect). My Mom & Dad were local entertainers and would perform in the local community halls along with us seven kids, it helped put our Dailey bread on the table. Later on as a teenager I graduated to Radio, then Television performing on the Canadian coast to coast variety show with ( Don Messer and his Islanders ) I then went on to recording for various labels . I was always a staunch fan of Hank Snow who was also born in Nova Scotia and continued to sing his style of music most of my life. For the last fifteen years I have had the pleasure of performing at the Giant Hank Snow tribute held annually here in Nova Scotia. I like to enter the sounds like hank contests and have won on many occasions I have also had the pleasure of performing with Hanks own band the Rainbow Ranch Boy’s who back me up each year. I have over four hundred songs recorded including , 30 Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals. I have my own Sound Studio where I produce recordings for various other artists as well as my self. I am my own engineer, producer , sound mixer and play bass, rhythm guitar, and lead guitar on the sessions . Yours truly George Longard
