• Hear his own versions of his most famous compositions “When It’s Apple Blossom Time In Annapolis Valley” and “My Nova Scotia Home”

• Four duets with female songstress Clover Lane
• 29 full-length tracks
• This compilation includes recordings from his very first in 1940 through his periods with Gavotte and RCA in the 1950s to his session with Aragon in 1961
