I used see Jack Kingston when he appeared on the Main Street Jamboree on Saturday nights over CHCH TV in Hamilton Ontario in the fifties. He recorded "CNR Special" as he worked for the CNR railroad in his early days. He also wrote about the Springhill Mine coal mine disaster which took place in 1957 in Springhill Nova Scotia. I wonder if he is still alive?
