@Mandolin1944 I would love to see some videos of Smiley as well.I meet him a few times And was lucky enough to se him in concert twice ,it was awsome he owned the stag, he was a true master on stag.At one time I lived only a few houses down street from him, but I worked so much, I never really got to visit with him. I've always regreted that because I so did admire him and his ability to sing and play .What a loss to his family and fans when he passed.Truley one of the best,He loved his music

@waynescountry Thank you for the nice comment. He surely had a style of his own and I'm sure inspired a lot of people to play the guitar. thanks again Chiboou2

Smiley could play any instrument. I square danced while he played the fiddle when he was 12 years old at Savard school. We come from Englehart, (Wabewawa)Ont.
I worked with Bruno (his brother) but Smiley was the only one to play. His dad run a dozer for MNR. Great Family.
