Interviewer: Yeah like what were your traditions at Christmas? Speaker: Oh it just went from like Christmas-Eve it was just going from neighbour-to-neighbour-to-neighbour mostly over at Jack's- Jack's neck-of-the-woods.

Interviewer: Sure. Did you- do you have any concerts that you went to in Toronto that stick out in your mind? Speaker: God. I could show you my- I 'll just show you this briefly. Interviewer: Sure. (...) Speaker: This really is nothing. I have a box even bigger than this, because literally, by the time- at the age of eleven, I started going to concerts. So literally, by the time I was sixteen, I 'd probably already been to a hundred of them. And now in my life, I 've probably been to like three-hundred of them. Interviewer: That 's great. Speaker: And I used to- just basically went to everything. Well, there 's from your neck- of-the-woods. Basically went- oh there 's from your neck of the woods too.

Speaker: Della-Kildare. Ah, where does she live? Della-Kildare. Interviewer: Ah, I'm not sure. I'm not the one going to- and Joe be- I'm not the one who's going to be interviewing her. Speaker: Oh, you're not in the- she's the Maberly bunch anyway, I can tell you that. Interviewer: Yeah, she- okay, yes, the Tessler's up there, Joe Bookman--, and- Speaker: Tessler in Maberly- or- up- up in that neck of the woods, anyway.

Speaker: Hadrian-Wall. That's it. In that neck of the woods was like a hole-in-the-wall, and they'd go over to England or Scotland, and steal, and then they'd run back- Interviewer: To the other side. Speaker: To this hole in the wall! It was just an- ah- a narrow area between Scotland and England.

Speaker: But when they got moved over in by Robertson's-Lake the farming area for some reason or other was not maybe as good? Speaker: Oh, oh. Speaker: Wherever they had set up but she said there was some lame days in that neck of the woods.

Yeah mo-- most of us again up here we relied on wood stove and ah so I don't- there was- there wasn't too many people in this neck of the woods, I don't think that were really desperate um, you-know we were lucky that we could go to Almonte and get gas or- or-whatever but if- if you-know if it was a like a huge, you-know you had to go a hundred miles to get gas.

My uncle had a- a sugar camp over here like in- in- still in my property but just kind of over in that neck of the woods.

Um, um you-know some of them like Middleville's is a full size pumper but up- in our neck of the woods up there sometimes getting into some of the areas, the smaller truck is a little bit better, it's four-wheel drive.
