Bob & Ginny Arbuckle

Release, Dancecraft LP123322, back cover: "Bob Arbuckle: Bob began playing the fiddle at age 11. He learned his first traditional tunes from his parents who were also fiddle players. By the age of 14, he was playing at local square dances around his hometown of Laskay, Ontario. Bob has played with various groups over the years including Art Celsie and the Singing Plainsmen who had a weekly radio show on CJVR Richmond Hill and later a TV show on CKVR Barrie during the early 1960's. Bob met his wife Ginny while playing with a group in Aurora and they later had their own group from 1965 to 1970. For the past 10 years they have played many times for the Old Time Caller's Association. Bob enjoys the opportunities to play for the traditional old time dancing whenever possible. Ginny (Sherratt) Arbuckle: Ginny received a solid background in popular music from her parents who were both well-known Toronto musicians during the 30's and 40's. At 14, she got a guitar to back her songs. Rock music had just come on the scene and a guitar was "in." Ginny, with her guitar, sang as a "single" act doing After-Dinner shows, concerts and T.V. In her last year of high school she joined a local band called "The Country Squires" where she met Bob. Through this group she was exposed to country and traditional dance music. Ginny soon developed a particular interest in the latter. In fact, she married the fiddle-player! Since then she has worked with many bands as a ginger, guitarist and bassist. A few years ago, Ginny learned to play piano and accompany Bob at various fiddle contests."
