Skipper and Company - Emile Benoit

A French-Newfoundland tune composed by Emile Benoit, one of the fathers of Newfoundland fiddle music. It is named after an old CBC children's show called, you guessed it, Skipper and COmpany.

Watched the show back in the 60's when Ray Bellew was Skipper & met him in 1968 when he made an appearance at my school doing his radio program for teens.

Remember Leslie Lake (now Leslie Lake Searle) on the show? What a fabulous singer she was. Knew her from grade 6, 1966 onward to high school 1971. She's living in NS now, married with 3 boys all grown & her husband is retired. She was teaching voice & running a children's music camp each summer, along with performing now & then.

Hey Newfiefiddler, love your stuff! I really enjoy Emile's tunes too. I have been trying to track down a copy of "Emile's Dream". Is it still available anywhere for purchase in NFLD? I tried "Fred's" and they don't have it. Needless to say, there is nothing available out here on the west coast.
