MW: When I got married in Montreal, Aunt Hilda she was coming to my wedding, but I didn't know she was going to bring the fiddle. Everybody who was at the wedding wre Italian, French, German, Ukranian, and I had it at a Greek Restaurant. After we had the dinner and the band started, I was talking to the priest who was next to me and I said "This is my Aunt." And she said, "I brought my fiddle." He was from Cornwall, Ontario. And he said, "You play the fiddle?" And she said, "Oh yes, I play the fiddle and I brought the guitars and everything." He said, "Go and get it" (laughter). And the guys in the band backed them up, and they got in and got playing. The Greek guy came and B It was supposed to be over at 10:30 in the night time. And he said, "I'll throw in another 16 bottles of liquor," he said, "keep it going; I'll ask my friends!" He said, "this is like back home in Greece, playing the fiddle and dancing." Everybody was goin' through the ceiling! Two o'clock in the mornin', it was still goin'.
TW: That was a great treat for us for that to happen, too.
