I guess the music in our family came from my Grandfather Wilfrid, a left handed fidel player and Grandmother, Annette (Roy) Perreault. Annette played the Accordion and Violin. The music was passed on to Lorian (Piano),Yvon (Drums), Rejeanne (Accordion), Vivianne (Vocals), Roger (Guitar) www.music-city.ca and their children.
